Not my cup of tea, but you had a vision and made it happen so good job. Enjoy it!!! You can tell you put a lot of work in to that bike

No... that's another reason I don't care for the HD Tourers..
I'm 6'2" and would get cramped on them riding around town..
I like my forward controls...

I remember doing a dual automotive horn setup with an automotive relay on my previous bike. I understand the need for the relay to take the power (with a suitably sized wire from the bat) due to the higher load, which then turns the stock switch wire as a signal to the relay, but I don't understand why you have dual relays. Can you explain why the second relay? Is it just simply 1 relay for high beams and 1 for low beams from the high beam switch? Did you put an inline fuse on your bat wire?

Well I can tell you put alot of work into it. You did alot of thought into planning it and I for one think it looks well built. It doesn't look cobbled together. Well done.

Right.. one relay is for the low, the second for the high beam.
Could have had the low beam pass thru the center connector (87a) of just one relay,
with the high beam switch closing the relay and switching to high beam.. but I preferred to use two relays.
And yes, I'm putting a 15 amp fuse between the battery and the relays.

At a quick glance it really does look like a Road Glide. I'm sure you confuse the snot out of a lot of folks when they see this in person. Nice job!

It's not my personal taste, it's definitely a cool idea and I can appreciate it.
