Traded out some labor with a good friend. Washed, polished and then waxed his 17 CVO Ultra while he installed my DK Customs tank lift (f&r) and DK's "wings". Good trade!! BTW, he insisted that I ride his 17 CVO - in a word "awesome!"
Sounds like a great trade for both of you!

I installed my DK Customs Tourpack relocator and footboard extensions.
I have had the footboard extensions before, just not on a trike. For any who might be curious, install was almost as easy as on touring bikes. Keeping the parking brake mechanism held up with a block of wood was a great suggestion in the instructions. Still an easy job and the extensions are a must have in my opinion.
The tourpack relocator was easy as well. Very solid and well made product. When I saw how it was designed to go together, I was impressed at how all the holes lined right up.
Now, I am just looking for an idea of what to use as a spacer behind the seat to cover the now exposed wires. Any ideas? I am thinking a custom made small, rectangular pillow, but wondering what others have done.
Oh, and it's great having the TP an inch higher, too. I can reach underneath to clean now.

Great to hear you are enjoying the upgrades!
Kuryakyn used to make them only for the '13 and earlier, but they are now making filler pads for that later model TG's too.
I bought the 2" lift kit for the front, without asking for adult input. I had the original handlebars replaced prior to accepting delivery - I chose the "Reach" handlebars, I think they're called, so I was a little concerned with clearance issues between the gas tank and the bars, but I still have a good 3/4" to spare, I estimate. I love the quality of the fit and the precision of the machining of the kits! Everything fit perfectly! I don't have a real good "Before" picture, but I'll post the best I have. I took a couple of "After" pics. I really like how the kit opened up the area under the gas tank; it will be much easier to polish that chrome, plus I think it makes the bike look better with the tank elevated a little more.
tGLIDEstuff floorboard extenders finally on. Chunky and strong, I went with raising the boards 1/2" over stock, we'll see how that works out.
I also had to extend my heel guard back towards the motor a bit with a couple of 1" spacers and a mounting block, there's about 1/2" clearance there now. So I get full use of the extension without bumping up against the exhaust.
Chunky.
Left side on
Mounting details.
Lots of room now. I'm people toed, opposite of pigeon toed, feet point out, so I needed the space. I used to hit the exhaust with my heel a lot until I installed the guard initally.

Kevin or others...what pipe thread is used on the plates for the DK oil cooler and the filter relocator kits. Anyone know where I can get black anodized fittings that would work on those pieces instead of the brass fittings that the kits come with?
