Default Hi All

Hi All,

Stryker from SoCal here (Riverside Area). Have some questions to ask about tail light issues (don't worry, I won't go into it on this thread, lol) so decided to create an account.

Ride a 2006 FXDWGI. The pics are from around 2014. In the process of installing some things and haven't taken pics yet as I'm not done. Just got done installing the following yesterday:
  • Rouge Riders Industries SigZ LED front turn signals with smoked lens covers
  • Rouge Riders Industries SigZ LED rear run/brake/turn signals with smoked lens covers
  • Daymaker style LED headlamp
  • Moved the front turn signals to the forks
  • XMT-MOTO Black Rear View Mirrors (still deciding if I want to move them to under the handlebars)
  • NAO 7" 240 watts LED light bar
  • Ditrio 12 piece LED accent lighting kit (added 6 more light strips for a total of 18)
  • Badlands turn signal load equalizer
  • Alex Tech Black Wire Loom Tubing (Spit type - Wrapped all exposed wires/tubes/hoses)
  • Rokform Pro Series Chrome phone mount
  • Ran headphone extension cable from seat to the phone mount
  • Ran phone charging cable to the phone mount
  • Hooked up lightbar, phone charging cable, and led accent lights to only work when the bike is in ACC/On
  • OVOTOR Smoked Low-Profile LED Taillight
Waiting for some chrome push-button illuminated switches to arrive to replace the ones that came with the light bar and led accent lighting strips. Also waiting on some connectors/pins and crimper tool to arrive so I can shorten the excess wire from the LED accent lighting. So much of it, I can't put the seat back on. Should be done in a few days once they arrive.

Once I'm done with the wiring and taillight issue, I'll post updated pics : )

Have future plans to start removing some chrome off the bike. Want to go with the following components in black or black/chrome:
  • Triple trees
  • Headlight bucket & ring
  • Handlebars and risers
  • Battery box
  • Fuse/Coil box covers
  • Lower fork sliders
  • Rear Shocks (black outer/chrome inner)
  • Possibly take off the chrome heat shields and go with black wrap (haven't decided yet as I like the way the led accent lights bounce off the chrome now)
  • Krator Black & Smoke Tall Fairing Windshield Club Style (going to mount it so that it is removable utilizing the quick disconnect clamps from my current windshield)
  • 5 spoke wheels
  • Derby/timing covers
  • LED handlebar-mounted speedometer
  • Flat fuel gauge and fuel caps
