UK,
Did you install the RS intake your self, if so before or after the VH pipes? And what the heck is the part number?
Thanks

I was wondering about your front turn signal relocation. Where'd you get them?

Bike looks perfect the way it is. The stripe on the back wheel compliments the piping on the seat. I think striping the front wheel would be over kill and take away from the overall look.

Thanks again everyone.

A little more info about the bike from the questions asked.
The RSD Venturi intake was added after the pipes were installed. I got the intake from Drag Specialties - it is the 5 spoke version as opposed to the 7 spoke version offered. It is available directly from drag specialties - I forget the part number though. One word of caution (already a topic on here somewere), the intake can spew oil. Just be sure to apply generous amounts of the sealer that comes with it around the mounting plate and you should be fine. Use more than what the instructions state.

The wheel is a 21" all black 60 spoke DNA wheel. I recommend not going with 60 spokes if you don't feel like shaving your caliper - this was the most challenging wheel to mount. I like the look of the skinny wheel.

The signal relocation is the kit which HD offers in store and online. I got mine in black and mounted them up top which is a little different than most since they are mounted lower. I initally tried mounting with the drag specialty ones and had a tough time getting them to stay in place, no problems with these ones.

Looks great! Looks like the exact same color wheel stripe I have! Love it!

The gas cap looks cool. Someone else on the forums has the same one on their Nightster but I forgot who. Really dig the look!

Thanks. Coil is relocated to in between the jugs on the left side. I used Harley part # 16353-04 (right angle mount) and the bracket is # 69049-07. Works great - just need shorter cables. Ignition switch is down by the primary, back by the battery cover. I'll see if I can get some pics of the left side
