What did you do to Your Sportster Today?

I fitted Turn Signal Extension Caps HD-71500179 to my partners 2008 Custom and Turn Signal Extension Caps HD-71500177 to my 2017 SuperLow.
On my partners bike (trike) the previous owner broke the brake light switch so that was another job to do as well.
I didn't find it necessary to take the brake or clutch levers off the bike but heed the warning in the manual to wedge the levers open so the little push button switches don't get broken.

I'm almost sure they come in chrome, hey it's only money...

Ok I see Dennis Kirk and others sell them in chrome. They are added to my list. Wish I had seen those before, now have to do them twice.
Is there an easy way to do the throttle side? I did not look at the manual, honestly, but getting those cables back in were a pain. Is it addressed in the manual?

To disconnect the throttle cables I just took all the adjustment out of them to make them as slack as possible. Using a small screw driver under the cable I moved it round to the ferrule to align the cable with the slot and pulled them out.
Before doing that I folded some card to be about 1/4" thick, operate the brake and wedge in the cardboard at the front of the lever.
You are best getting the guide for fitting the switch cap from the Harley.com website.
