I went with the HD oil temp gauge, still chrome, but at least I can see what the oil temp is and there is no battery to change.

The only Axle Nut Covers and Swing Arm Bolt covers I have found are from HD, they were about $40 for each location and even my sorry local dealer had them in stock...

saw some from kuryakyn but they're chrome and i would have to paint them. but i like things to look like they go together, so i will probably go with the ones from harley. you just made my mind up, thanks. i know this guy ain't to popular among bikers but choppers inc has one with bullet caps on top and it's black. though i did find a guy on ebay who makes a custom cut air breather face for 45 bucks. could get a skull but may do something else.

I need to figure out if I'm okay with the extra width that comes with them. On the Gangster 16's the 1.5's are 41" wide compared to 36.5" for the 1.25's. That sounds really wide, but I am a big son of a bitch so I'd probably be okay with it.

I love the flush mount caps. I wish you could get them with just a dummy for the left side since I have the tach/speedo combo which has its own fuel gauge. Seems kind of redundant to have both. I think there's some aftermarket ones, but they don't seem to look as "right" as the Harley set.

Update on my bike is that all of the parts to fix it are supposedly on order. I know shipping will get delayed a bit with Christmas so I'm not really expecting to see my bike again before 2016.

I'm still swaying back and forth on the apes, but most likely I will go ahead and order the 16" Gangsters before long. I'm 6'3" and if you measure my arm span tip to tip it's 6'6", so I don't think the width or the height will be any issue.
