That too is the plan, I want either the stock nightster ones but can't find them or I think I'd go with the Joker Machine bullets but again that's more funds so will be a later addition. If anyone knows the part numbers or where I can get the stock Nightster style indicators online please let me know - no Harley dealer here for me to go order it from.

Wow, what an improvement! That is really turning out to be bad ***. What type of wrap is that?
The cross tube does serve a purpose but how important it is to equalize pressure between cylinders is, I don't know. A lot of aftermarket pipes don't do that so it must not be all that critical. My Iron has the same thing except it is integrated into the stock muffler brackets and it tucked away pretty much out of site.

I also did as they suggested in the DVD to wrap over the heat shield instead of removing them - makes it look beefier than just the plain pipe.

Idling Video
Installed the carb jet kit while I wait for the seat to get here and I decided to start it up, and I really like it! But the video doesn't give the sound justice. let me know what y'all think.

I'm sure other brands of engine enamels are good too, they're usually more chemical resistant to gas and oil. When I turned the petcock on gas leaked out over it, I wiped it up and it's as if it never happened.
