You've probably already thought about this, but if not you may want to look into a set of bar end mirrors. How are those grips, they look sick but figured they might be hard on the hands?

Yea, I can't get bar end mirrors cuz the clip ons are solid. The grips look even better in person and they hurt your hands a little, but everytime I notice it starting to hurt I just loosen my grip, so it works out. I usually wear gloves anyways.

I don't know which grips have removable end caps. If I had to do it all over, knowing what I know now about fitment with the clip ons, I would buy the Joker vintage grips, they're like 20 bucks I think.

Not to hijack....bike looks great. Just wondering if you have a part number on what you had to get to make the indicator lights snap into the headlight hood (cover, whatever the hell you call it). I've tried searching with no avail. Bike looks sick man.

I just used some double sided tape and taped it to the back of the hood

I never had clearance issues with my left mirror. Have you tried adjusting the angle of your speedo? Or putting the speedo on the right side - how about that?

I'm gettin ready to order a Kuryakyn P-Clamp and mount the speedo to the frame on the front downtube. It should work out perfectly, hopefully.

Here's an update:

In the past weeks I've installed my RSD clip on bars, relocated my speedo using a P-clamp on the downtube, flipped mirrors, and installed the Vance & Hines Blackout 2 into 1 exhaust.

Now I need to know what XIED I need? Do i get the XIED, X14IED, or the VIED? Thanks in advance.
