One question, I ordered (almost) the last of the missing pieces in my Edge Cut collection, but I notice your floorboards aren't the half-moons she came with (at least it doesn't look like it). Did you try to find half-moon inserts in the collection, or do they exist? I'm cool with leaving the black rubber (stock) inserts regardless. My sig pic is a bit old, but I've got all the other Edge Cut either on or on their way. Also added a new breather and PCV so I am getting there
Same issue on the Diamond Black Floorboard inserts. Bought pans from a touring bike and switched them. Took 1/2 hour of being slow and careful to change out pans and put inserts in. To me it's worth it to complete "the look".

Probably won't ever sell my bike though. I don't ride enough to warrant a sweet bagger. I'm more interested in another sports car. A friend is selling his '02 SS camaro with a fully built 408 and 300 shot of spray. I'd rather have another mode of transportation to complete the ensemble.

Sounds like a fun toy.

Default Ace is the place...

If you're not crazy about the look of those bolt heads on your handlebar clamps or other places, check these out. I found them at Ace Hardware. They run about $6 a piece but very solid with a nice chrome finish. I also use one in place of the rear seat bolt, and one on my shift linkage. They also come with the HD style cross, or an eagle.

Spot on Sgt jim, the dealer should have replaced the bulbs in the packet, uk bikes are fitted with single contact bulbs. The exhaust saga however goes on, although the sensor adaptor fits they now need a new disc to remap the fuel system! bring back carbs and mixture screws

By the nuts and bolts, but in my local store, they had them secured down a bit to keep the punk-*** kids from lifting them.

I don't really have a part number 'cause you really just grab them out of a bin and then tell the check-out the price, lol. I know, it sounds a little Mayberry, but I don't think they can inventory nuts and bolts that closely. I did find the exact same items online here:
http://www.4hd.net/product_informati...product_id=568
but the price is in british pounds and WAY more than they cost at Ace. If I stop there in the next few days, I'll post it for you.
Sorry I can't be more help now.

Got a big surprise tonight. Rode over to a local cruise night at the Famous Daves BBQ here in town. They have a nice cruise night every wed night. Cars, Trucks and Bikes. usually includes some sort of food discount too. Real good turn out tonight with 25 or 30 cars/trucks and maybe 30 bikes. At 8pm they announced the winners for each class, best car, best truck, best bike and best in show. I was very very surprised when my name was announced as the bike winner. While I have done some things to the bike, there are so much more that I want to do. It was nice to see that someone else must like where I am headed.
