I don't have turn signals, removed them all. The rear cable is just there to give it the extra push to put the throttle in its original place when you let go of the throttle. you don't need both, it's actually a lot snappier with just the one and plus it cleans up the front. nothing is wired internally because i have nothing on the bar.
Thanks for the compliments.

New setup with performance and face lift. Very happy with the outcome
Next mods will be mounting the rear of the gas tank directly onto the frame to get rid of that big neck of a stock tank mount which will also bring down the seat by mounting the bracket directly on to the frame to get rid of the huge gap I currently have. I will also toss the speedo after getting used to how the bike feels at different speeds. There are tons of other things that will be done but the next mod is installing Tokico brakes in the front and rear. Already got it repainted and installed new pads, a friend is working on the mount and also a stainless fork brace. This is the Air Cleaner that will be installed soon, made by the same friend. A lot smaller and way sexier than the current S&S setup. For me the best part of it is that it's not black.

The wide V&H exhaust tips were chopped. I purchased a mild steel U-bend online and cut it up so that they can come together with a bit of up-sweep. The transition and collector are stainless and purchased from cone engineering. I then got a small 2.5" piece of pipe that the muffler slips into. Now i need to get a baffle for back pressure. it will tone down the loudness of the exhaust but I'll sacrifice it for performance. i'm getting some clip on's made right now just too see how they will feel. if i really like the feel and look of it then a short pegs will be installed in the rear of the bike to keep my feet on when i'm on the interstate.
