Just eliminated the plate bar on my 06 Ultra.....and now I can't decide on where to locate my plate??? I know I should've planned this ahead of time, but I didn't think this would be a tough decision....the only real option I like is a set up with a bracket coming off the rear fender tip light with the plate above it....but damn! $160. for that set-up!! I"m sure many of you have run across this same problem.....with so many DIY's here, I figure someone has got an idea I could use.............Thanks Guys!

Yes...I have duals

 

Okay, HD will sell you a brake light mod kit for $54.00 to mod the turn signals into brake light helpers. Anybody know a DIY way to do this?

 

In UK the Harley Siren comes as stock...loud as loud can be.

I dont know where HD get off switching these things around...on UK model the tri bar light on the rear fender is a blank and we have to buy that light.

They just love to mix things up to keep taking your coin!

 

Are you talking about this kind of mod to give a clean look at the back?

Check ebay for the light units, many variants around including Kuryakin.

For the little bullet lights, they come from www.auto-gem.com

Hope this helps.

There was a recent post where a few of you talked about the DIY removal of the passenger grab bar... I've tried the search function and didn't find it. If anyone knows where to find this thread, can you help me out. It would be a great post to have in this thread anyway.

 

Well... ask and you shall receive! As soon as I clicked back the thread listing, that post happened to come up... Here it is (rear grab bar elimination DIY style) https://www.hdforums.com/m_2844596/tm.htm

 

Here is what I did with the air tube for the shocks. Pretty simple and you don't have to remove anything.
just drill a hole in the side cover left side and install the stem then screw on any valve stem cover you want. I like the dice.

Many people are switching to the spun aluminum gauges. The standard has a couple gauges with just a black plug in the hole.For those who are missing a gauge or two from the set here is an idea tochangethat ugly black plug into a spun aluminum look!
Most of us have changed out the timing cover for something else and if not most of the time people will give them away or for little money. The inside ring of the stock timing cover fits almost perfectly inside the plug. All you have to do is trim it down to the inside ring. First, cover the middle with some tape and trim it with a razor blade. I used tin snips to cut the edge offbut it wanted to bend the thin cover so I would try another method of triming it. After the bulk was gone I ground the edge with a bench grinder. To fine tune the edge, I used a drimmel with a grinding stone and finished it off with a file. A little automotive adhesive (3M tape would work) and there you have a spun aluminum plug!Make sure to position the plug in the fairing first (goes in one way) and then attach the aluminum piece making sure it is straight up and down!
Here is a couple pictures of how it looks both on and off the fairing. Cost $0





Update
Ok, so this didn't match my gauges well.. Stood out like a sore thumb!
I painted it with that flat black BBQ paint and then used thinner on a shop ragand very carfully rubbed the paint off the raised area. Looks alot better for my application

 

HOMEMADE SHIFTER COVER for those that have removed their heel shifters. In the two last pics you can also see how I drilled and tapped the shifter sleeve on the primary and installed a grease zerk so I can put a shot of grease in there every now and then so I don't have to keep taking it apart to lube it and keep it smooth.
