Default Painted inner installed today
I got my inner installed today. Wasn't near a hard as I thought it would be. Allot of good tips on here about taping all the wires and putting screws in marked baggies. Took about 3.5 hours taking my time.
Almost done with the winter mods as listed.
I got a great deal on this on ebay but it had the holes drilled for fairing mirrors. I got the Kuryakyn covers over them.
  • Painted inner
  • brushed alum gages
  • tbag
  • notalgic grips, floorboard inserts , brake and shifter pads
  • quick release fuel cover button
  • 18" Creation 7 wheels
  • hammock seat
  • curved license plate
  • run brake light kit for rear turn signals
  • garage door opener
  • visors for head light, spot lights, and front turn signals
  • lower fairings
  • fairing wind deflectors.
Thanks to ebay, craigslist, and the HD classifieds I didn't pay full price for anything. Still spent a few dollars

Nice, didn't pay full price on anything? Even the gauges?

I guess we could all take lessons from you my friend

Nice job, looks great. Still on the fence about doing it myself, kinda hard to bring myself to tear apart a bike I haven't even ridden yet.

Thanks all,
The gages are new. I got them at Chicago harley at 20% off. After selling my old gages on Ebay for 200 I have less the 300 in them
Considering I was going to pay 120 for the chrome rings package for my black ones I thought this was a better investment.
