Actually the indicators are amber. The pics only show running and brake light. Although the glass is clear/white the indicator LEDs are flashing amber.

Default New Seat

Had a guy make this up for me to go with my old school chopper look. Turned out pretty sweet.

Tried this in another post and didn't fare so well so trying it here.

First harley and wanting to do some mods myself. Just ordered VH big radius 2-2, SE Heavy Breather and the FP3. Don't have the service manual yet.

I assume the ECM data port connector is under the seat somewhere and not near the ECM itself... which I understand is behind the rear fender and access requires removing the tire and fender?

I'm not clear on 02 sensors. I have to remove the rear wiring, attach to the pipe then re-run the wiring back? Assume this is because there is not room or enough slack in the harness to install the sensor without removing?

Videos don't show installs using torque wrenches. Not necessary?

Thanks. You guys have some unbelievable bikes...

Yes the connector is under the seat. The sensors are just easier to remove and reinstall with the exhaust off the bike. Torque wrench is a personal choice, no one can answer that for you but yourself. If you don't do a lot of wrenching then I would suggest it. Also, save yourself some headaches and get a service manual now. Money well spent imho.

Thanks. The sissy bar is from Ginz choppers. Product is quality and the mounting system is clean and strong. Customer service is just ok though. They are slow and over priced. The one on my bike is a 24" bar.

+1 on the service manual. I wouldn't attempt any of my own work without it. Saved my *** from doing something stupid on multiple occasions.

Need to pull my fuel tank soon. Going to relocate turn signals does anyone know the size of the cross over line? 1/4" or 3/8" ID I want to put in a quick disconnect! http://www.coyote-gear.com/quickdisconnects.html
