Hey, Folks!!
Tech question here. Want to run auxiliary LEDs mounted to the rear facia. Already have a Radiantz dual element conversions for my LED bars. Just wondering if I can tap into the harness under the seat, just behind the connector before it goes under the fender, or is there more happening further towards the lights (Is it junctioned from the tri-bar lamp for the R/T/B functions?)?? Does anyone have a schematic or know which wires function the left and right R/B/T? Thank you in advance!!

Just curious -- how did you get the orange onto the lower rocker covers?

That orange is sharp against that black. Love the tank emblem.

Default Bars
Hi guys. Wondering if anyone has changed out the mini apes for dresser bars? I’m 5’9” but with short arms (apparently). The mini apes are too far a reach for me and bending them forward messes with my wrist angle. Thinking about the Chubby Dressers. Anyone done that? Thanks.

Very nice looking bike. Are the fender stripes and tank emblems paint or vinyl?

I'll throw this out there. The "Harley Davidson" on the saddlebags and the "HD/M8" on the side covers detract from the look of the bike.
