I don't blame you, thats a lot of reading, the system will work with the MB5 with my enhanced mount. As for an update, for the first time I am ahead of my orders, I have a few of all the finish options available to ship right now. I just picked up 250 center mount pieces from the machine shop, gonna start knocking out as many housings as I can, get some more to chrome and paint. I got to get stocked up because I got my retirement date last week and I will be moving operations to AZ in a couple months. If you have any specific Qs please PM me or visit my website for some more info. The HDF members who have taken a chance on my system and supported me have already made this a success as far as I'm concered, I have no other outlet of advertisement or exposure so I thank you all for helping me to spread the word. Hope everyone has a great Christmas.

USAFANG67, you need to adjust your settings so you can recieve PM, sorry I am unable to reply until you fix this.

I haven't removed a tank for install yet, but I'm sure you can get a much tighter and cleaner routing of the harness by doing so. Hit me up if you need any assistance.

No need to take off the fuel tank(unless you are wanting to run wires up to the accessory switch).

Cheers

Just wondering if these can be installed with the Harley Air Horn? I have not seen it mentioned anywhere.

This is exactly what I plan to do. I assume I can just buy a blank rocker switch from HD to use in the panel at the base of the innder fairing...

If I'm not wrong...I believe it's best to use the auto thermal switch then there's no need to worry about turning it off and on and no need to remove the fuel tank.

Jason the down side is that this Great country of ours will be a little worse off without you in active service but all us Harley riders will benefit. I for one will be watching your web site for new and innovative parts to improve what Harley should have. As far as advertising as you mention above many of us are telling the world about your FCS, I'm sure you will stay very busy. When a product such as the FCS comes along sales will continue to grow via word of mouth. Better get that money counter you're going to need it. All the best to you and your success. p.s. why Arizona ?

For manual operation, the switch in the FCS housing is no less convenient than a rocker on the panel. I do recommend the auto switch for best overall performance, but there is nothing wrong with running it manual if thats what you prefer.
