thanks bill, that's the kind of feedback I need!! I currently have the fenders struts, turn signals, turn signal mounts, license plate bracket, top riser clamp, switch housings, and brake/clutch levers at the powdercoater. Hopefully they turn out well, and if so, then I guess I'll tear down the front end and do the trees. My only concern is tolerances...so we'll see how he does on the parts I've already dropped off. They are a reputable company so hopefully those parts come back nicely done and no threaded holes full of powdercoat...!!! Also, I received the Thunderbike 62mm risers last week, in gloss black, so we'll see how everything mounts up this week. Then off to the shop to install the 16 inch FMB Choppers ape hangers, and the Legend Air Ride!!!
I have a bunch of the black HD Edge Cut series accessories coming too. Pegs (rider/pas), brake pedal, pedal pad, shift lever, toe peg, shifter linkage, and horn. Not sure which direction I want to go with the air cleaner yet though. May have to invest in the VH FP3...

I see a lot of Breakouts with VH big radius pipes. Just curious if anybody is running them without baffles and how they like them. I currently have the baffles in mine and they sound pretty good, so just curious. And I don't drag race my bike, so the whole "loosing a few HP" issue isn't a factor for me. Unless you are drag racing or taking your Harley to the track, it shouldn't be an issue for anyone I wouldn't think.

Has anybody had issues with turn signal hyperflash? So I got the Custom Dynamics rear turn signal LED kit, and my turn signals flash at the normal rate, but the turn signal light on the dash flashes fast now. I'm going to be putting the Drag Specialties slim line LEDs up front while changing out the bars. Will I need a load equalizer with having both front and rear LED turn signals?

In Europe they have oem led at the rear but on the front they have a normall bulb. I changed the fronts to led ( Thunderbike ) and the dash light flashes like crazy but
that doesn't matter at all. The turn signals flashing at normal speed so no worries.
