I ride for at least a couple of hours a day though, so it's been worth it.
Thanks for the info. I'll look into the footboards

I haven't opened up the rubber grommet where all the wires are hiding but that's where the light wires go directly into so I'm assuming they stuffed them in there. I plan on opening it up pretty soon so if i find something unusual i'll let you know.

There are a couple of threads on it, and I put a parts list on one of them for the Sport Glide. If you want OEM, you need the Fat Boy brackets (the Heritage ones are too narrow). You can put whatever boards on the brackets that you like (I used Heritage boards). There are also some aftermarket boards that attach to the peg brackets, and several people have made positive comments on those.

Looks great. Thanks for the response. With those DRLs you can probably take the reflectors off and not sacrifice visbility.

Almost enough for me to want one. The Gustafsons are so expensive...

New bars arrived today along with new clutch and brake line with the adapter. I ordered wiring extensions too which haven’t arrived yet, in case I ever put riser extensions on in the future to make them taller. I have to get new grips too, the smaller diameter memory foam ones aren’t so tacky feeling so my hands slide. Hoping to get them put on in a month or less.

Hi,
Really nice mods you've done, I've changed my Grips to the same as yours can you tell me whereabouts you got the Switch housing chrome caps?
I can't seem to find them
thanks
Martin

Default CD Rear LEDs

Installed the Custom Dynamics Rear LEDs when I switched out the rear chrome housings to black. Nice overall
