Wally, thanks for the link. A couple of things come to mind, it IS too much green. I need to continue with the CVO paint scheme to break up the green. Also as much as I like the SG look I really need a set of passing lights to break up the batwing. I'm not going to put the set off my ultra back on, but will keep looking for a CVO or trike set in the used market.

I couldn't agree with you more. The other bike is too much green for sure.
As far as the passing lights go. I personally like the look of a Street Glide with them on, especially the style you're looking to install.
And, I hate riding ahead of the SG's with just one front light. Far less visible in the mirror, compared to the fully lit bikes. I'm steady telling guys without how much safer they'd be if they added passing lamps and ran with them on all the time.
By the way buddy, you'll have to remove the outer fairing to connect them. LOL

It's after 8:30 AM Saturday here in SW Mo.
I'm hoping that Batman is "on the clock" busy working on "Cheapskate"!
Im anxious to see more great accomplishments over the weekend.
Good luck!

I figured that's why you did. I was only stating my opinion. Wasn't trying sound negative towards your post. It's all good.

Wally I absolutely agree with you on the lights up front. It is a whole lot easier to see them in the mirror. I put a set of the off of a trike and yes they were very expensive, but I really like how they cleaned up the look of the front end. Not only that I ride to work at 5:30 in the morning and the more light the better. Not sure if it is legal but would love to have them stay on with the brights on.

I had a productive week on the road. I scored a SG console & a set of 100th Anniversary grips in St. Joe, MO for $60. Then found a new set of Python true dual headers in K.C. at Hardcore Customs for the price of a Fullsac kit. Friday afternoon I got the grips and a set of chrome levers installed and the cables adjusted.
