Rear cylinder cooling air scoop mod.
I haven't looked at my horn back yet but,Wondering if the horn is open on backside?Did ya have to cut out? Any help to a 110 ci rear is a huge plus.A fan mod hidden would be good for stopped traffic.

I found some work choice mini work lights at walmart today and for $5/pair I figured they would work out for a good tour pack and saddle bag light. They are magnetic, but i had some left over velcro and just put some velcro on the backs and attached them to the tour pack lining, and the back of the saddle bags.

Great idea. I looked on Walmart's site, but couldn't find these. Do you have more info on them so we can find them? Thanks.

I decided to rewire my garage door opener and LED switch into my dash. The garage button is a h-d part that was a momentary switch-the same as th speedo button and the LED switch is an on/off switch.

Looks like these work well on the bullet lights. Has anyone tried them, or know if they work on the big fat lights like on a 2013 ultra classic?

Slight modification of your tail light assembly is required. nothing that a dremmel can't take care of. Start by removing your old bulb. you will see that the new bulb is slightly bigger than the opening. simply make the hole a little bigger and you have new red LED bulbs that are CAN Bus so they will work properly.
