Looks good, could you post up some pics of your bike from a distance so I can see what the engine guard looks like ? Thanks, Paul.

Sure. I usually do the photo on the drive way to show the changes... Weather permitting, I will do that when I get from work today.

I was working on it late last night and it was way too dark to take any photos outside...

When I did the LEDs on the OL's Iron, I wish I had tried a Black Sharpie
on the mounting board. Those really stand out on a black background.
The contrast probably wouldn't be bad on a chrome application though.

Cool

Well... so much for trying to finish this last night after work... got home and had to fix the front loader washer... I will try again tonight. But I did take it out this morning and took a few photos as requested.

Looks Great. I am surprised how well the Engine Guard looks on a "Bobber style" bike!

I would love to try that windscreen. I bet the buffeting is even less than my "Heritage style" shield with fangs. That large opening would really reduce the low pressure on the aft side of the 'shield. The fangs try to do a similar thing with fairly good results. Most modern bikes have a similar relief at the 'shield base.

I want to test ride a 'shield like that with and without fangs.
Is that shield Q/R? (Quick release)?

It is quick release. I took the photos with and without the windshield so folks could see how it looked in both setups.
