Nothing for now. I need to powder coat the transmission cover plate though. Finally got to ride today. First time out in a month, 180 miles so far. I'm at a job, and then another 10 miles home.
These are custom clear acrylic rings (6.0” OD X 4.6875” ID X .25” thick) that I made specifically for this purpose.
I then ran RGB tape around the assembly (assembly is the speaker, factory adapter, w/ my spacer sandwiched in-between).
I just used gaffer’s tape to block the light leaks and secure the LEDs around the polished edge of my spacer.
The inside edge, and both surfaces of the spacer ring are sanded w/ #320 to help dissipate the light evenly around the ring.

Missed this when you originally posted... Must feel awesome to have it come to together like this and finally take it out again! Looks great!
I went Custom Dynamic crazy today on my new to me 13’ FLHTK! Installed Pro Beam front and rear turn signals and low profile brake light (all smoked lenses) and LED front fender tip light (rear fender light on back order) and license plate relocation kit with light up frame.

With 600 miles on the new V111, yesterday did a couple max effort accelerations shifting at 4500. The new Barnett clutch slipped like a big dog!! So I R&Rd three springs to the green ones. This took the spring press from 348 to 420 lbs. Not noticeable on the clutch handle, but test drive I could definitely tell the plates were locked up better.
I just now realized the one stripe on the front fairing is a No. 1. I thought you just never finished it lol.
Thank you for noticing.
It's amateur, but I'm pretty proud of it and had not seen anyone do it.
Tough to be even close to original with Harley sometimes with so many custom bikes and so many years of been there done that.
I honestly did not know Harley began using the No1 as a logo until after putting it on. I did it to play into the Police Model 1, as my bike is a 100th Police Model 1.

I think you did a great job it's subtle. So the HD No. 1 was around for years at least since the 70's during the Shovelhead days and when AMF owned HD. My 82 XLH was the last year they pumped out bikes and it had a No. 1 as part of the tank badging. Also Evil Knevil was known for using the No. 1 since he jumped using HD bikes back in the day.
