Made some more modifications to my bike. Moved the stock switches, biltwell 8" bars, took sandpaper to the covers and gave it a brushed metal look.
Old mods: RSD rear fender, Haifley Bros Sissy Bar, No School Choppers license plate with Storm Trooper tail light, 21x3.5 front wheel (which required a new PM caliper), Burly Brand lowering kit for front shock (down 1"), Headlight from FXDB (street bob)... headlight required me cutting and beating the **** out of the air dam/fairing thingy on the forks.
Oh and my dremel engraved Darth Vader primary cover... I'm pretty happy with how that came out.

Yeah, I think so. I like the look of it. Took this while changing Primary fluid, so that cover is already back on.
EDIT: might take a dremel with sanding disk to it to get a more uniform swirl pattern.

Created a thread about it here: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...-switches.html
I kept the switches in their stock config, created backing brackets from two strips of sheet metal, bent those to conform to the backside of the switches, drilled holes in top and bottom for bolts to secure everything, and the finishing touch was the switches to brackets with some of that superstrength velcro (the 10lb kind).
Works great, have put on about 1000 miles since and absolutely no worries.
I'll go back and revise with more detail on the other thread when I get a chance.
