Awesome, please post pics once installed!

What aux light kit did you get? Right now I plan on just getting the freight train nacelle without aux lights, but at one point I was debating getting the "Deluxe"Aux Kit and powdercoating it black. I also like it because it gets the turn signals off the handlebars.

I also really like the "Custom" Aux Kit because it doesn't have the bar across the front and I can also relocate my turn signals from the handlebars to the aux light bracket, but the Harley fitment description says it isn't compatible with the Wind Splitter windshield that I plan on getting...

i bought the HD kit that will hold the lights. bought the sunpie kit that comes with the headlight and passing lamps all for 99 bucks. I bought an extra wiring harness that another member told to get that will hook into a aux plug thats under the tank, i also bought black trim rings from harley to replace the chrome ones that come for the passing lamps so no need for powder coating.. i bought most of it from Boardtracker HD. paid about 50 bucks less than it would of been from the HD site.

There is a hole in the back of the triple tree cowling on the clutch side that was made for Aux light switch.

I also got my hands on some braided cable covering to protect the cables. Most of the kits come with a plastic shielding to cover the wires. It looked awful with the plastic covering.

Hi guys, i don't post very often, but read this regularly. i was just looking for opinions about what you guys like better. I have the mirrors with LED in the stems from the V rod. my question do you like them on top or down below better? i can't seem to decide what i like better. The wiring is a bit of a pain so i don't want todo it again. Also

does anyone know of a small waterproof connector to use so i could change these easily in the future?

I'm not crazy about the mirrors period, but I'll go with Freak on this one, keep em up top. Even though I like mirrors down I just don't think those look right down there.
