What did you do to Your Sportster Today?

I'm currently using these but red/black:
You can see how they don't shoot light in as many directions, especially to the sides, since the plastic is so deep set in there. I got these as replacements after I lost one of my stock ones and the local dealership wanted $50 for a new stock one. They look cool, but I put LED lights in there, so I want to maximize the light potential. The red is rather dark, so it is cutting down light intensity. So since the LED's are already red, I ordered some lightly smoked lenses, I think clear would look funky.
I like to have less flying bits of glass on my bike if possible. One of my rear lenses got knocked off when a prius side-swiped me. I hiked back up the road and found it all ****ed up, but I could still put it back in. It would have been broken if it was glass. Signal isn't quite round anymore, it's a trick to get the lens in right.

hmm, yeah I cleaned it out with a clean rag.

I give all prius a wide berth now so they can do as many stupid things as they please. Seriously, keep an eye on them.... in a surprisingly short amount of time they all do something ridiculously dangerous.

Yea, I don't expect any issues. System works with one regular bulb and I likely can't ride this weekend anyway. Too much salt still on roads for my comfort.

Not a big deal but since it's the first day it's warm out I took out the bike and while riding I decided definitely no windshield. So took off the windshield, took of the sissy bar, threw the screaming eagle plate back on, and turned the handle bars up a bit. More to come later

After using the official wiring schemo in my service manual, which sort of matched some of the wires that were left. I managed to get an actual ignition switch and even some indicator lights. Got the new tank and rebuilt carb installed. Mental note check the bar clearance after you install the rear tank bolt...oh well it was just a base coat. Took my first official test drive...

They're all bullet inserts? It does say in their instructions if it doesn't work, try using one of the other LEDs in it. Swap one of the other LEDs in and see what happens. Which side is it by the way?
