Thanks, it's pretty much done Dash. I'll fix the gas filler hole/cap issue over the winter. Got about 250 miles on it now and everything is still running and working great. I'm planning another Youtube video to detail all the mods. Then another one on the road...

I bought a pair of 12" low profile Street Glide or Road King (I can never remember which, but if you go back towards the beginning of the thread I talk about it) air shocks off of ebay and had them cut down to 10 3/4".

No problem Dash. Here's where I got them cut down if you want to go shorter than stock.

Send them the shocks and they chop 'em and send 'em back in about a week. Very good service and they work great.

Created a new video highlighting some of the mods to the bike. It's my first real youtube creation and it's my brother's GoPro camera that I am still not all that familiar with, so it's not the best documentary out there, but it will give you a better look at Zombie Apocalypse. Enjoy.

I thought I'd throw my appreciation into the mix as well. Great thread and ideas. Ergo, did you end up using load equalizers for the turn signals and taillight bar? I've ordered the barend signals and am looking at the rear fender light bar. Love the look and I think the clean looks awesome. Great job again, Ergo!
