I've been having a bit of a play...
Removed the Windshield.
Removed the Rack.
Removed the Hammock Touring Seat and replaced with an H-D Sundowner Driver & Passenger Seat (including fitting some knurled screw attachments for both driver & passenger seats).
Removed the OEM Mirrors and replaced with a black finish custom set.
Tilted the handlebars forward.
Fitted some Leather Tassels on the levers (these are some from my OH's old bike so thought I'd see what they were like).
Fitted a RAM Mount Sat Nav Holder.
Fitted some Handlebar Clamps/Brackets & Tool Roll.
Fitted some Easy Brackets and Saddlebags (I had to make some backing plates due to the small size of the saddlebags and them not lining up with all the holes in the easy brackets).
Here's a pic:
Next step underway...
H-D OEM Rear Fender, inner Taillight Holder Bracket, inner Fender Mounting Brackets, Fender Rails & Rick’s Motorcycles Front Fender all dropped off at the Painters (going Gloss Black).
These should be ready for collection in January where upon I'll collect them and, at the same occasion, drop off the wheels for the inserts to be painted Gloss Black.
Used MS Paint to get an idea of what it would look like:
Other stuff...
I've assembled the Taillight Tail Tidy Fender Bracket, License Plate Frame, License Plate & 2 x 20mm Reflectors ready for assembly when parts come back from paint.
Pic. complete with grubby fingerprints
Future stuff...
I still have some other cosmetic changes that I would like to do, primarily to the engine casings.
Once the cosmetic changes are done, I'll be looking to do a Stage 1 Performance upgrade.

I was considering doing their knight rider sequential and flashing brake, or thier smoked strip. I would have to re-pin the strip so it would work on the brake circuit since I added yellow turns.

Its solid running, BUT...... it does what the tail light you tapped into does. I tapped into the right circuit as per instructions, the brake and turn are integrated, so if I have the right turn signal on, the new tail light is going to blink also. I don't know of any simple way to fix it. I don't think it matters, it helps being seen.

It looks great, runs as brake run, and turn signals, in concert with your bullets.
I think it's the best option for a reflector replacement now days.
If you dont trust the 3M tape on it, just add some sugru to the back of it and the fender underneath.

Dang, now I feel stupid
Kept reading people referring to the rear brake "light" as a reflector
IT IS just a reflector...stupidest thing I have ever seen...can't believe I never looked/noticed it
Now I want an actual brake light in the middle...more $$ to spend
I am working on the plate relocation to under back fender
Which brakelight bar are you referring tto ?

I installed it on Rayearth, and I very much like it.
My only complaint about it is that I cant inverse the magic strobes I have linked to it so it flashes the brake light bar instead of my signals but oh well.
This plus 1 pack of sugru is a perfect replacement for that back reflector.
