Putting on some chrome to the engine, doing some wiring with the turn signals (HD Turn Signal Mirrors and Rear Turn Signal Auxilary Converter), and adding some performance parts (K&N Air Filter and Magnum Clutch Cable) to my Sportster tomorrow.

I will post some pictures of the process.

WISH ME LUCK!!!

I guess I didnt have enough luck. I got everything on except the air filter (wrong part) and after I got everything on, the bike cleaned up and ready to go, the clutch would not disengage and the clutch cable end snapped.
I already went to the dealer and set up an appointment, Im done working on this bike on my own. Im positive its an easy fix but I would prefer the technician does the job and does it right.
I only snapped one picture, when its back in running order I will load some more pics.
