nice. I'm putting 14" KST Straight jackets on once my cruise control and brake line get off backorder, but I'm always looking to see if I like something better. Those chubby's look good. The KST's may be too Straight up and down. We'll have to see. The others I am still considering are a set of Carlini designs.
I see what you mean, but, I think they'd look good because they would, in effect, following the lines of the forks at the front, i.e., straight up.
Talking from experience, when you have high Ape Hangers, (i.e., when your hands are above the height of your shoulders when riding) cruise control is an absolute MUST HAVE when doing any long distance runs.

Just had a quick look at the KST Straight jackets - they look nice

the fact that the KST's are stainless were a huge selling point.

Ordering the short Turn signal mounts to move my license plate to back fender
Figures they are $43 & free shipping is at $50
Trying to figure out what else I may need
Already have a Timer cover, will be ordering a Custom Derby cover
Possibly swap the air filter for the SE K&N filter
But again the stock filter is supposed to be pretty free flowing anyways
Only 2500 miles on the bike. I see no reason to replace the spark plugs
Only reason to replace the wires is to have them stand out some (would go w/Red) ? Do they really make a difference ?
And from what I have read, a PIA to replace as well as the plugs
So if I am going to do that I'd rather wait & do both later
Black ones w/orange lettering, No Thanx LOL

@Glenn Gorman I just noticed your signature says that your running magnum shielding cables on your Fat Boy.
I wanna get a set for my build in candy apple red.
What do you think of them?
I think they may be the final vanity mod upgrade I need to finish off my build with all the the other stuff I have.

The lower ABS brake line is more expensive and funds were tight.
Turning the run switch on before bleeding the front brakes caused the ABS module to cycle. Meaning that the line now had to be bled at a motorcycle shop or buying the software. I bought the software and tablet so that I can change the brake fluid every couple of years per Harley's service.
I purchased the ITM HD1 ABS Bleeding tool. http://infotechmercenary.com/product/315/

I like the look alot better then the stock Harley. The hardest decision was which ones to get. Very easy to install with their step by step instructions. Two things that I would do different: 1) Also get the matching lower ABS brake line. 2) Not turn the run switch to on until after I had bled the brakes.

Thats what I'm looking at is replacing the stock black ones with the Magnum shielding Candy Apple Red wires.

BE careful ordering them: NOTE: Due to the length, applications for 2017+ Softail bikes (part number #3047) has 7.5 inches of high performance black silicone core wire on the coil end of each wire. Contact Customer Service at 585-381-8380 if you want to alter the length or position of that material.
