Agree, Bike looks great! Nice to see larger tires filling up the fenders.
I like my tail/ plate light from the Street Bob, but I don't think its "in style".
Harley has been removing tail lights on the Baggers as well and using the turn signals for stop lights.
There was a problem with Street Bob fenders cracking. Our Slims have a steel reinforcement under the fender. Using this and a doubler, I had no problems.

When I first rode the Slim (about a year ago), that was the color that I was looking at getting... beautiful looking bike you have there.
I will leave mine like it is now... I do not have a long trip planned for now. Next one is on January... so I have a few months to decide on what approach to take with the rear lights/tag to be able to use the rack I have.
Looks like I will be able to finish the wheels tonight. All the spacers came in. Finished installing the front sensor last night... so the front wheel is in place.
Tonight I will:
1. Modify front caliper by removing 1/8" of each mount point. This will make it align with the new position of the rotor.
2. Remove rear wheel. Remove rotor to be able to put in the dynabeads. Install rotor, install wheel using a new spacer that is 1/8" longer than stock, to clear belt pulley.
3. Install mufflers and axle covers... be done with the rear setup.
4. I usually do not have issues with side reflectors... but what was HD thinking when they did the rear ones?? A better approach would have been to install them in the indent of the side support... between the two bolts used for the docking hardware. There is space there for installing a decent side reflector and it would have looked so much better than sticking it to the side of the painted fender Anyway, all that to say that I will be removing that rear reflector... yuk!
5. Waiting on a few parts to be able to test the Windsplitter windshield that I got with the bike... not a straight bolt on from the box since I do not have auxiliary lights...
6. Waiting on the HD side/swingarm mounted bag. Still a couple of weeks before that gets in...
7. Need a helmet lock. What I have does not work on this bike. Just need to get the same one but with the correct size.
8. Figure out a bracket to install the tool bag... love the looks of that thing...
