The Deluxe looks great but I am really digging the ratrod myself. Keep up the great work and keep us posted on both rides

It was not hard at all I drilled a hole in the top of the bracket so I could hide the wires in behind everything. I took a small drill bit and drilled the connector out where the stock tag light is cut the power wire that is tied into the same connector as close the connector then I used a crimp connector to tie power to the white wire on the tag bracket that went to the grey wire that you cut off the stock light. then I used a crimp connector with a hole in it and bolted it through th hole i drilled out the stock connector

Got home from work today the sun was out mid 50s so I pulled my bike out of the shop first time she has seen sun or daylight since the new wheel tank badges and softbrake relocate kit progressive drop in lowered the front 2 inches hope to have the back wheel in a few weeks or so.
