That's a really good idea! Sharpies are very versatile tools.

Haha, my Slim straight from the factory is touted as a bobber. Grant you it aint a bar hopper or a custom chopper, but the highway bars look right at home on it as do the highway pegs that I find so necessary.
Do I consider it a bobber though? Probably not d:

I will be so glad to get mine in the Spring and just enjoy it for how it looks, which is amazing.

Quick update. Wiring for the LED lights done. I connected them inside the headlight bucket to the low beam. They go off if I switch to high-beam.

Luggage rack modified and now it fits without having to relocate the lights or tag mount. Great!

OK. Love the lights in the bars.

For the rack. Did you only cut a relief in the aft end, or did you also move the locking device?
