Thanks bro. Yeah I took a break for a while. I didn't ride much this summer. So much going on and it was so hot. Now the nice weather is rolling in.

I just finished with some mods. I blacked out the top rocker covers (chromed the bottom covers), primary cover, tranny side cover, the tappet blocks, and cam cover. I also changed out the bars, relocated the front turn signals, added rear signals that work with my bags, and used chrome bolts everywhere.

Also swapped all my fluids to synthetic.

The new bars were the biggest change. At least that I can feel. They are so comfortable.

You wouldn't by chance have any closeups and/or part numbers of that front turn signal relocation mod would you?

It looks like I have the same aux. lights (P/N 68000026?), but they don't lend themselves well to hanging the turns there without some mod work, and probably drilling holes in the bullets for the wiring - something I'd rather not do...

EDIT - I just clicked on your picture and found your much larger version on PhotoBucket, and it looks like you reused the mounting brackets that were under the handlebars - is that right?

Jam look into kit number 69079-04A. I just ordered these and had them installed(powder coated) because the stock bullets wouldnt work with the aux kit. I have the relocation kit instructions infront of me and it says that you need pn 69287-05 aux lamp kit. I can't find much info on the 69287-05 kit though. I was also told the relocation kit was outdated and they had a newer kit that wasn't available yet. The stealership got mine from another shop so they are still floating around.

If you need any more info let me know I'll try to help you.
