There is a threaded fish plate inside the square frame tube that the Torx screw, securing the rear of the tank (and your new dash) threads into. Know that when you remove the screw entirely, the fish plate drops inside the square tube (just inside the end) and you'll need to balance the plate on a finger, inside the end of the tube, while threading the screw back into it. Pudgy fingers make this a little frustrating but the rest of the job is quite an enjoyable little exercise. "Have fun" !

Do it yourself man. Even if you get a little scratch on your paint from banging it with a wrench it's ok. Bikes are gonna get nicks and scratches.......it's inevitable if you ride them. You will get over it after a sleepless night or two lol, trust me I know from experience.
The feeling and pride of doing it yourself lasts a lifetime.

it's giving me some time to sort out paint colours etc for it.
I'm hoping that mine will be different to what everybody else has done

+1 for do it yourself, so easy. But if you're keeping the stock black on it be careful because mine scratched so easy. It's off getting powder coated now because of that.
For you guys that did the +3" controls, did your kit come with a brake line? I just picked the kit up from my dealer and it didn't. I'm checking parts number now to be sure it's right.

I can't comment on those HD lights, but I can confirm that the Custom Dynamics lights don't do diddly, as you suspect. I am about to ditch the CD LED's I put in the front of my bike. I'm switching to the Primo LED headlamp with built in signals and an Adjure bucket. The HD front signals are coming off the bike.

Don't get me wrong about the Custom Dynamics stuff. They're LED replacement lights are really very good. I'm definitely keeping my CD LED's in the taillights. They blow incandescent bulbs away, no doubt.
Their white/amber LED's just don't perform well up front as a supplement to the headlight. If I had to do it again and if I was going to keep the factory signals, I'd just get the dual intensity amber lights from CD. Forget about the CD white/amber LED's.

Thanks for any replies.
