Man, I'm glad I got my bars and flames. If we ever hookup for a ride, some people might think we are twins or worse.
She's lookin good. I forgot - did you install the headlight yourself? Just curious how big a job that is. Seems like it should be no big deal but I could be wrong...

FYI - if you mount them above the fork brace like FXDC Rider did and have a HD QD Windshield, they will get in the way. He's too hardcore for a windshield - but I have one. Though I rarely use it, I went ahead and mounted my signals just below the fork brace.

I saw the swing away license plate frame on the Nightser. I think it would like nice on your bike or on a Bob.

Dude, you save receipts for bolts? j/k
I can't remember if they were 3/8 x 24 or 5/8 x 24. 5/8 seems too big but I think they were one of those two sizes. He'll have to go to a store and buy some new ones anway. If he takes the ones that come with the kit, they should be able to get them straight.
I was pissed and bitchin so hard about the dealer not installing those HD relocations right but I'm so glad they didn't. I never liked them and it made it so much easier to do these clamps.
By the way, I got by with a split lock washer between the signal light and the clamp. I don't know if they came with the clamps or if they were installed in my old kit. But, they are doing the job. Have ridden several hundred miles now with them like that and they haven't moved on me. Yet, I can still adjust them by hand without loosening anything.
