I wish I had more recent photos...
"Sleeked" it a bit (former SG owner). Removed the rails and "spiked" the holes (always a conversation piece, as understated as they are), lower, smoked shield, TallBoy seat (gives the whole thing that "slightly lowered" look and comfy as a Herman Miller chair on long rides), pulled the front bumper, added the HD vented fairing lowers --
At first glance, it resembles the Limited more than anything else. I just think of it as the "Uber Glide."
(EDIT) Attached photos of the spikes -- Wintec Fabrication -- 5/16x18. Sealing washer (metal side in), metal washer, rubber washer, metal washer, spike. Photo is "V.1.0" -- They mounted better after the aforementioned washer series.

I have done a bunch to mine, not intentionally but just seemed to happen. I plan to do a few more things over the winter/spring.

I have an '06 FLHTP. She saw parade duty in Grafton, WI. and was never an active patrol bike.
I blacked out the football and horn cover and bracket, added saddlebag filler panels, narrowed rear turn signal bar, HD bevelled visors for all the lights, 10" Long Ride Ultra windshield, Kury Cruise Peg mounts with dually ISO-pegs, installed a Street Glide tank console and changed the filler panel for that, moved the cop seat air tank under the left side cover, installed a set of Street Glide mirrors, removed most of the cop wiring, removed the bag bars. Oh yeah, installed a TWR stabilizer.
Got a set of standard passenger footboards, Mustang pillion and detachable backrest for the times my wife wants to ride along....
Installed a set of Andrews 26 cams, PC III, Jackpot mufflers, Stage I aircleaner. Did the cam tensioner/cam plate/oil pump upgrade too.
Bought 'er with 121 miles on the clock just about two years ago, she's showin' almost 17K today.

The FLHT is my wife's bike, so we set it up to fit her. Lowered front + rear, luggage rack, "reach" seat, rider backrest, 95" stage II kit. The biggest change was adding the sidecar, so we can take our dogs on trips.

I've made a whole hell of a lot of changes. It just would be easier to post some pics.

I have an 03 FLHTPI, which in english is a police bike. It is a FLHT for all intents and purposes.
I inherited the bike when my best friend died in 2005.
When I got it it still had all the cop lights and crap on it when I took it home for the first time.
Since I am not a cop, nor do I have a lot of warm feelings for them (this bike was my best friends on duty ride) the cop stuff had to go.
I was lucky that all the cop markings were decals that came right off, so I was able to ride it around as long as I covered the blue lights up, but I decided since the stock bodywork was in need of some touch up, and I didn't like the cop bags, that I would clone the bike into a FLHTCI.
I was able over the course of about 9 months to get an almost complete set of 03 body work from EBAY and a co-operative dealer that was willing to help me out by selling me " controlled" items.
The hardest part for me to get? The tank insert that goes on the console. With the help of the dealer that was helping me, we located one on the shelf at another dealer who was more than willing to sell it to me, controlled item or not.
The only parts that were not changed were the front fender (solid black, no 03 stripes, but a 100th decal under the clear coat) the side covers ( solid black, still waiting to find a set on EBAY for short money) and the left bar controls ( I like the cop horn set up better).
I added a Hawg Wired radio install kit and a Sony radio, oil temp and voltage gauges in the blank holes, a chrome inner primary, Progressive suspension front and rear, and a boatload of 100th anniversary covers ( derby etc) and a Big Sucker with a PCIII.
