Decrapifying my Dyna.
#22
punk if you're taking suggestions on what to do with the big open space left on ure bike might i suggest picking up a old-school chopper style oil bag to mount in there.
since you wouldn't exactly need it for oil...you could fab up a hinge and make one end of it a kind of trap door...a simple key lock and viola! you've got yourself a very discreet one-off storage bag.

Not to hijack your thread CP, but I really gotta take a moment to admire Rounder's '05 FXDC ....
I think that photo right there argues heavily in favor of the V&H Big Radius ....
Interesting concept in total simplification you are undertaking ... I sometimes think of something along those lines myself ....
Then, I think: "Screw it ... bike is okay as is ... what I really want is a simple panhead [or maybe a shovel or evo] in a hard tail frame with that same wiring harness and two wheels ...." A kicker so you don't have to worry about wiring an electric starter .... That is the way I conceptualize my simplification regime ....
Good luck with it ... hard to go wrong ... screw the 'naysayers' ....

You will need at a minimum FUSES or circuit breakers:
ISOLATE and PROTECT THESE CIRCUITS
1) Ignition system
2) Headlight & Tail Light
3) Brake Light
4) Starter system
5) MAIN (or a master breaker for the charging system)
?) *Instruments
I of course assume you will have no turn signals, horn, * fuel guage & electric speedo.
Nothing is worse than an old 1 fuse system.

Lama, that's exactly the information I needed next. I'm about to begin drawing up a final wiring schematic, with all systems/circuits and fuses, etc..I wasn't sure Which parts of the system needed to be fused, now I need to find out what Size fuses I need for each. I had no intention to run the system without some kind of protection. I want the wiring simplified, not dangerous. lol No signals, gauges, speedo, etc...Other than the ignition and charging system, I believe the only electronics will be headlight hi/lo, brake/tail light, and a horn. (TX law) I also need to figure out what I'm going to do about a brake light switch. I still have the brake switch on the rear master cylinder, but that would only activate if I used the rear brake. (I would think, at least.) I haven't looked into if I can reuse the factory brake switch on the brake lever.
