Hey Dizzy, I really dig the way your bike looks; what is the headlight visor ring you have on there (part number?) Also, do you know if I can stuff the HD LED light in there? Sorry for the questions, I am sitting in AFG plotting all of my parts to order so they can all be installed all at once when the bike is delivered in a few months...I know exactly the look I am going for. Thanks again...great bike!

Anyone else run into this ? Is there a kit ? Not so comphy for the wife with one foot way higher than the other!

I have same set up there is a extension bracket for the right side that moves it up about 2.5" up it should have came with pipes, there is also one you can get separate to move left side to the same position, I didn't move the left side and haven't had any complaints about height differance hope this helps

If you go back a few pages in this thread you will see the same question was answered already. You can "Search the Thread" for the keyword "Visor"

Thanks Dave, here's the visor ring part: http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...-11-6973305--1

I don't see any reason why the visor ring would not work with the HD LED headlight. I've installed an LED headlight on a buddy's Breakout, and it basically replaces the headlight lamp. The ring goes back on the same way.

Anyone running the signature seat with built in backrest? Just ordered one and was curious on feedback.

Thanks Dizzy, I appreciate your time and again, I really like the way your ride is looking. Stay safe out there.

Traded in my 2013 Fatboy Lo for a 2013 Street Glide. I had Vance and Hines Big Radius Pipes on it with an Arlen Ness Inverted Deep Cut Air Cleaner for 1 month. I am looking to dump them off to give me some money to compensate for an exhaust and air cleaner that fits the SG...PM me with any questions, interest and offers
