Looks good. Any benefit from relocating the coil or just cosmetic?

I think it looks awesome besides being faster I think black makes them worth more.

Looking good. Which mustang seat is that and how do you like it. How is the seating position? Did it sit you up or is it a lower position?

Just cosmetic, I hated the stock HD horn appearance

Mustang Tripper...I love it, its a night and day difference between the Saddleman I removed. The Mustang moved me down and back, dont know how much but it is very noticeable

I see it as a win/win either way! I do bet you have better performance with the pipe though, its amazing what a pipe can do for a bikes performance. I also agree, one can never go wrong with bleck, its just timeless and ageless. I also agree flames are out and have been for a good while. I have seen a few of the "realistic" flame jobs that looks nice but other then that, flat colors looks best imhp.

I'm not sure what happened, I also put a new coil on too, Daytona Twin Tec. It replaced a Screaming Eagle coil. All I know is it runs like a scalded dog now, how it's suppose to. There is a substaintial difference in power especially in the lower rpm range. It's much more fun to ride.
