Thanks for the comments guys, and yes the Covington panhead covers and the RSD cam cover are ordered, I did find some cheaper ones but they were steel, no point scrimping when I've got this far.

So does the kit give you a new Tombstone light housing? Mine has a light on top for the plate... How in hell did you pop the rear wiring cover off with the wheel on? Did you loosen the fender struts and raise it? If you did it without you've got some skills....
Being you going for a serious chrome old school look a really cool upgrade for your bike would be a set of chrome replica Pan-Head valve covers... I have a set on my list for June.... Very well made and will trip people out
If your interested i can point you in the right direction

Lol...this mod was a huge pain in the *** with the wheel on. Im an average size guy but if you have lumberjack size hands it might not work out for you. Getting the nuts on and off takes a certain amount of finger dexterity for sure.
Mark, looks like you ran the wires up the same way I did but I have white wrap on mine. I couldn't figure out how to completely hide them without pulling the wheel and maybe drilling a hole through the plate bracket.
How did everyone else do it?

I drilled an hole through the bracket plate prior to fitment, it's behind the plate so you can't see it, then I run the wires through it & up the back. Also put a slight bend in the bracket just as it comes from under the light, so it would sit more flush against the fender & not have a gap!

Yes Motown. I think I'm gonna redo it next week, Chap said he drilled a hole in his plate and ran the wire up the back of the plate holder, I might tackle it that way, I've got to finish it of anyways cos I havent put the cover that goes over the wiring bck on yet.
On a slightly different note, I'm real impressed with this mod, we went out today for a run up to one of our usual haunts, this plate relocator totally cleans up the back end, I had loads of comments on it, people asking me how I did it, I've seen another Deluxe in the past which had had the plate moved below but they just put some tape over the light in the top, looked real naff. This is a must have mod for the Deluxe.
I cant believe I left it in the garage unfitted for so long,
maybe its time I fitted my Labriola setup, thats also been sitting in the garage for a while too.
