Thanks for all the compliments everyone. I really couldn't have ended up w/ a bike nearly this cool without the help from everybody here though. I would have never even thought about the idea of clip-ons had I not seen them first here on other bikes; along with alot of other very useful information. Thank you all for opening up the possabilities that are endless for the Sportster.

The Front LED signals are made by Radiantz Lighting. They are the flexible L.E.D. strips. Keep a look out for the next issue of Iron Horse Magazine. My bike is supposed to be pictured in it. Pretty pyched about it.

Default love your bike man...

How much did you have to shorten your upper cables? (Clutch, throttle, idle, front brake)

I know its not on there yet Doc, but it will be very soon. Thanks again! Now; on w/ the pics.....

The shop used cables 7 inches under stock. They seem to be just right. Not a lot of excess cable hanging around and no binding up either.
