Don't get hung-up on what anybody else thinks. Do what you want with that bike. You are the one that paid for it, the taxes and registration, and the insurance. Taboo? Impress yourself, ***** the rest.

I dont worry about what is considered taboo, If I want to put Kawasaki stickers on my Ultra Classic I will (which I dont ) because it is mine to do as I see fit. I didnt buy it with the intentions of making it look like it is suppose to, I bought it for me to enjoy.

So do what you want and put up some pics so we can all see it, others may like it and do the same or similar !

Just make it look good. The GT500 analogy is best.

Yes. What year is your bike? 09 was the most recently that they changed for fitment purposes, but again look and see if there's a big rectangular hole for the tail light or not because that was another recent change.

Not sure what year your bike is but this will help:

You're gonna have to do some work on the harness to the brake lights and stuff too. Do a search on here....this has been done a ton of times.

I have a friend who likes the look of the Street Glides so he made his Tour Pac detachable,
but left the rest of his Bikes tail lights stock.

H-D stands for Hundreds of Dollars, that is why they give out Parts & Accessories books.
