Thanks tbonetony06, glad you like it. To be honest I'm still trying to understand if I like these covers too, but need to try them. Actually there are only two covers on the bike, left cylinder base cover and tappet cover, the rest is all chrome stock parts. I perfectly understand what you mean regarding chrome. Probably when I'll have wheels, oil tank, dragbars, fork sliders, swingarm, console and other parts chromed you will like the bike even more!

Hi ya'll, new to the forum but have a question. I have a 13 BO, I installed a Daymaker and Bullet headlamp shell but the headlight is not properly securing in the shell. The gasket supplied with the shell (rubber gasket with five ears that is supposed to mount to the back of the headlight) appeared to be for a factory headlight and would not fit on the Daymaker. I have seen that several members here have installed the same combination, have any of ya'll ran into this problem? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Bullet or Billet headlight? On billet Daymaker fits without any issue (mine has been installed by dealer so don't know about the gasket, sorry) but on Bullet headlight I'm not sure it'll be so plug'n'play installing the Daymaker.

I was wondering if you could help me with the front blinkers. I can't figure out how to get those. I can't use the CVO ones because I can only find complete with the electronics for blinkers and start button, etc. And the CVO has cruise control which I don't.

Where did you get yours? are they Harley. and if so could I trouble you for a part number? also do they plug in or do you have to splice

I just sent my handle bars to be chromed and need chrome blinkers.
thanks in advance

You're experiencing the same problem I had. I found the solution with my local dealer ordering some generic HD turn signals. If I remember well they were the Fat Bob ones. Unfortunately I don't have the part numbers 'cause we did it with his computer looking into the part finder, sorry for this! I have all the part numbers of the parts I installed...but not this one! The dealer installed it so I'm not sure what he did to mount them but I remember that the mechanic said he had to work a bit on those to do a "clean job". Really sorry not to be able to give you more info...
Btw, nice choice to have the stock dragbars chromed. I made the same choice, you may see the chromed dragbars on the thread I opened on chromed parts.

Why couldn't you just order Breakout rear signals and transfer the bracket over from the black fronts?

I thought about it, even because I'd have liked to have LED turn signals also on the front but when I asked the dealer about this opportunity I was told they weren't sure it could be done easily. Anyway, do you think it's something that can be done without any issue? I trust more in you than the local dealer! Front brackets will remain the same?

I need to look at Harley_Charleys signals again. On the non CVO signals, the shell I believe is the same. It just has a hole for mounting, and one for wires to come out. I am not sure if the Harley leds are the same.
