Thanks Drew I will defenitely be doing business with you again, you guys are a class act for sure. Wideroad I will be posting pics like the ones here as things progress. I plan on doing the wiring tomorrow and maybe the cables, atleast the clutch cable. Also I'm pretty shore someone just posted some pics of there install and also added in the steps they took. Just don't do what I did and remove the fuel cross over cable before your shore the tank is empty or your ready to cap it, freakin was a bloody mess on the garage floor before I could get it capped.

Yup, when I first went to take the tank off my fatboy I did not even realize there was a crossover line and kept pulling up on the tank until the the crossover broke. It smelled like gas in my garage for weeks after that! LOL.

Yeah pretty much the same here, gas smell just seems to settle in no matter how much you clean it.

Yeah I agree, got the tall for the wife. I had a Medium one with my Fatboy, she said it wasn't comfortable, but likes the tall better. I'm thinkin the next thing I will do is to drop it in the front and rear, but who knows
