Novello also makes an excellent kit that is color coded and plug + play.

NAMZ worked great for me. Everything I needed in the kit.

Poly Riser Bushings

I will also be installing the Nacelle that has been in the box collecting dust for a while now. For that I ordered
Chrome Visor Trim Ring #69733-05

Anyone think of anything I missed? But first the Lux has to be dropped off at the local HD Saturday to have the new rear wheel installed. Gotta love warranty work.

Instead of buying chrome switch caps and wire extensions, you can buy chrome switch kits with longer than stock wires on eBay for $60 if I remember correctly. It will make for a smoother and easier installation....

Ghost, I just installed my 16's 2 weeks ago and the 11's have 4 wires on one side and 5 on the other. The install was much, much easier than the dyna was. A lot less wiring to fool with. It's gonna feel nice going back to those apes

SprungDave, I searched and could not find any for 2011 up Softails.

n2gzus, it is going to be very nice to be back in apes.

Just a few to get you started. They are $75 for the newer models, like yours, but it still seems easier and more reliable...

I don't believe any of those will work on a 2011. 2011 up Softails are different than 2010 down models.

So just to clearify, these replace the stock wiring and just plug straight in? No wiring? I do realize they're called plug and play, just getting the facts straight.
