Which windshield extension are you running? I have a Laminar Lip coming next Monday. I have the HD Windsplitter just like you which I love the look of but at 6'3" I get all the wind and noise.

thanks Jon. I like the look of the stock air cleaner cover. There is a big Arlen ness filter element behind it 😁

it’s a cheap Amazon chit. It blew up on the interstate on the second day after I installed it, but didn’t fall off so I modified it and it’s been working fine since then. Amazon seller refunded me after I posted a one-star review 😁

Ok thanks I was looking at those el cheapos on Chinazon but kept digging until I came across the Laminar Lip. They are made in the USA and the guy Andy I spoke to in CA made me a smoked version for my Windsplitter. They only make lips for bikes that come with windshields from the factory but I told him it is a HD shield from the catalog.
BTW your front fender looks awesome and I agree with you about the stock airbox. I kept mine on as well and did a homemade crankcase breather mod and installed a K&N big filter.

Trying to figure out what tank emblems to put on.
The Red tank emblem like those on an Electra Glide Standard would look stunning on that lovely grey colour!

Agree! Great contrast, would look sharp! Also agree on the RKS! Deeply in love with my 2019. Myself and most others agree...Harley knocked it outta da park with the RK Special. Best bike ever built by Harley, IMHO! I'll be buried with mine cuz I have way too much money invested in upgrades to ever get rid of it! And happy to keep er!!
