PLEASE...don't drill until you get the mirror!

These are 170 dollar mirrors I got on clearance for 60 bucks, and then later didn't need....so I rather see you actually use them and enjoy them then see them sit in one of my boxes.

Send me a PM if you still want, and I'll go and send them. Not eveyone likes them, and thus that was why I got them at 60% off...

I'm thinkin'...you could easily paint these green if you so wanted...


and remember, Jesus loves you.
If anybody has a template let me know!!! Love the color of the bike and the pinstriping on the inner fairing. Very nice.

Yes I do, and they'll only go on "Cheapskate", They might end up painted green.
I just noticed your location, my picture was taken on a rental from Black Hills HD somewhere around Kennedyville on Hwy385. I had driven from Lincoln to Spearfish for a meeting, only to have it canceled, so I stopped on the way back and rented an Ultra for some cruising.

Friday I managed to get the inner fairing mounted and all the electrics hooked back up. Wow what a chore. Lots of Zip ties and rerouting cables to get it all tucked back in.



Also installed the Street Glide turn signals. I'm still on the fence if I should use the Street Glide signals or put the Ultra signals and passing lights back on.



I'll probably run the Street Glide until I can find a set of Trike Signals and passing lights.



Also did a trial fit on the outer fairing. Not so good. It might have been off the bike and in the sun too long. Does not want to close up on the right side. Almost a 1/2 inch gap. I'll play with it tomorrow while the filler and primer setup on the fender.
