Hey outtakes, how do you like powervision so far? Mine was night and day difference performance wise. How many hits left empty after 20 min riding?

I was wondering what a silver Iron would look like with white walls. Thanks for sharing this pic!

Adapted HD Softail bags to my Sportster! Looks pretty good. Now looking at options for turn signal relocation.

well I ditched turns horn and front brake light switch. there was plenty of slack in the harness to run it back with no splicing needed.

Are you gonna try and find a way to replace and relocate the stock brake fluid reservoir? Ultimately, I want to do something similar to what you've done here. But I'd like to put the switches inside the bar itself and move the reservoir. Looks great btw.

im shaving them down for now but eventually I am going to run a moto set up off a crf250 its a lot slimmer and lower profile. I have also thought about ditching the front brake all together. I never use it. when I rode sport bike I relied on a front but im not a aggressive rider any more I guess.
