Thanks guys! I'm excited about all this...

And after talking with Gunslinger some more this evening, I feel very confident that the end result will be awesome!

Good luck, I know earlier this year one of the Bagger mags had a two part series on making the change.

Total cost for parts new is around $2300. But, keep in mind, I needed some things like an engine guard. Coming from an FLHXSE I have parts that are different from a regular FLHX.

And some of the cost could be offset by selling some of ths stock parts.
