Ironman,
That paint is really bangin', and you're gonna' love the PV tuner! Now please don't ruin it all by doing a tank lift and wire tuck!!
Question though...my eyes went right to this...are you going to use anything to fill the original holes for the factory taillights? Some sort of thin blank plate painted a similar gloss black as the surrounding area would look good to hide the holes and depression in the rail covers...
=8^)

As for the location of the stock taillights I have a plan for that. I am going to try to find some LED turn signals from a sport bike and put them over that recessed area. That should take care of my lack of rear turn signals and hopefully cover up the recessed area for the stock tails.

Red and black always seem to compliment each other so I went with red. Sure glad I did!
The paint job ended up costing $900. I figure that's fair though considering you need a special gun to do it, and on top of that the paint is pretty spendy itself.

What do you guys think about one of these for the air intake?

LED taillight can be found here:

It's a factory Harley part. I went down to my local dealer and they had it in stock. Well worth the money, it REALLY cleans up the back of the bike.
By South Side I assume you mean the other side of the bike (opposite of the exhausts)? I'll have to take some pictures, it's all black though, no chrome or polished aluminum at all, minus the bolts that hold the primary cover on.

I read somewhere in here that although that air intake looks big it actually gives you some extra room for the knees. I had seen this one as well but Im leaning more towards this RSD.

Yeah the price is a killer. Since winter is on its way I have about 5-6 months to save and buy the exhaust system, air intake and tuner.
