Thanks, you guys have given us a lot of great ideas. Need to get some LED's for the rear though. Was following behind him and not as visible as I would like.

24v thanks. I'm going for that old school meets new school chopper look. Yours is sweet too. I got the seat custom made by a guy here in San Marcos. I drew him up what I wanted and he shaped it for me. I needed something with a little more back support. After I put some cams in her I was sliding off the second I would gun it.

Thanks for posting the pics of the black box with the lift. I'm with you on it not looking right. I'm scratching it from the list.
I didn't realize how much of he frame it would expose.
I remember you describing the easiest way to remove rear struts by removing the entire fender ad a single unit....I can't find that
Any chance you could describe it again...I'm pulling mine this weekend for PC

3 plugs under the seat, unplug them. 4 bolts holding the struts to the frame. Take them off next. Then spread the struts and lift whole thing off. You will need to pull the pins out of the wiring connectors in order to remove the tail lights from the struts.

Cool, bought myself a service manual whichever says the same. I assume I'll notice which 3 plugs need to be disconnected.
How many wires for each tail light are pulled? Obviously all of them but I'm just thinking ahead as to how I'll remember how to re-install

Anybody know the part # for the left rear turn signal spacer that fits between the license plate bracket and the rear fender.
I've searched online and spent 30 minutes at the parts counter with no success. They said they see the described part but the left and right both have the same part number which doesn't make sense because they are different. They had a breakout on the showroom floor so I walked he parts manager over me showed him what I was referring to and he became even more stumped. Said he would have to call harley cooperate.
Has anyone relocated the license plate and used the right spacer on the left side to even things out?
