On a side note I've been following LuckMC on Instagram and I may have a serious man crush on his bikes. So much killer detail. I saw he was working on some parts for the dude who has Chemical Candy Customs. I don't think they do anything Sportster related, mainly Shovels, Pans, Knucks, but these bikes are the beez kneez and I think he might be building a bike for Born Free.

OK guys, I cleaned up some of the mess here. As you already know, the censor won't let you post certain words. **** is one of them. It is against the rules to bypass the censor by misspelling a word. For example replacing the u with a v in the word ****. That type of posting will get you in the ****ing dog house with Admin and on vacation to read the ****ing rules.

Thanks dude. You were right, trying to jam all those switches in the neck is gonna be tough. Looks like there's room but the backs of the switches would be butt up against one another and if they touch well, you know the rest. Thanks again dude! The op may present itself down the road to use it so Im holding on to it. Dope little light.

Just a suggestion but if you're having space issues with the switches you might give yourself more room in thoe neck by mounting the hi/lo switch right on the headlight. It's easy to do - just drill a hole in the housing and run the wires out with the other headlight wires. I used the stock headlight though. Might not work with Street's smaller headlight...

Wow what a difference the torque cones make. Bikes running like it should now. A lil pop on decel but the old pipes did that too. I'm happy with that but I'm gonna pull the plugs and have a look see. However, the ends of these pipes def need to get hung up. The back one should be easy, gonna mount that to rear bolt on the sprocket cover, but the front one is bothering me. No spot really on the motor to mount it to. Wait...after further inspection it looks like the bike above has a piece of round bar running from the bottom bolt on the sprocket cover to the front pipe. Maybe tacked straight to the back of the pipe because I don't see a clamp or anything. Hmmmm.....
Did you get a chance to properly read your plugs?

Something about that crazy orange avatar angers me lol. Your bike is coming along well. Ultimately, if you're comfy in the seat while riding fast and you like the way the bars feel you'll have fun on a 1200 Sporty. The rest will just look good through the window of wherever you take her. Good luck with the wires, that stuff can get frustrating.
