I wanted to post this sooner but, failed. I had the chance to do some mild mods on my streetglide this past winter, mostly in Feb and march. I know some guys do some major, and impressive, mods but, this was just a little project work. Thanks to Gaugemods, Iron Cross Audio, Biketronics and, Custom Dynamics for their products.
I added some accents light pods from Custom Dynamics just for some soft hightlighting, not too bright. The Biketronic 7.1 and amp upgrade. I had Gaugemods change my gauge colors (great to deal with) and I wanted to keep my stock head unit but have it blend so, that went to Iron Cross Audio for some color enhancement. Chrome switch covers, grips and, shifter to match the stock HD streamliner design. In the bags I added HD power ports and then used Custom Dynamic LED pods for interior lights. Everything is wired through HD accessory switches in the dash location for individual control. Its a start and next winter will be wheels and front fender
I'm kinda torn on the accent lights. You did a nice job not over doing it. I was thinking of something like that to increase visibility. I worry about distracted drivers not seeing me.

You should check your state's laws on accent lights. Technically, they aren't legal in NY but, there are openings for them. In NY they can't project from the vehicle, they can't flash, they cannot be red or blue and, I've run mine through a switch so, I can turn them off if any police have issue.
Thanks for liking the work Jrsess, GTK and, TcHunter.
GTK I do ride at night often so, all LED lighting for me
Looks great, mine is very similar except with red led's. I went a step further and added CD Stingerz around the speaker openings in the fairing. I then cut my own speaker grills out of a $12 Office Depot mesh trash can, and remounted my bar and shield speaker trims. Not very expensive to do if you already have the HD grill trim and really accents the gauge and head unit color. You also get to see the BT speakers do their thing, pretty cool to watch.
