Very nice ChaCha, but next time we ride, I may have to remind myself that you are with us until I get used to id the new job. Love the pin-ups myself and as soon as I can my act together, may have to figure out some stuff to do with my plain old blue paint job and a few other items.
See you soon and give my best to the misses. Hope to be sharing the road with you this summer a few times.

For Alhall and the others that asked about the electrical;
I went with the Wire-Plus Post Mount Chopper harness and ditched nearly all of the BDM electronics -- all that is left is the LED lights to the license frame and the two sensors for the tach and the Speedo!
I ditched the bars and the switches cause--to be honest--if I make a change, I tend to do it all at one time. The Wire-Plus product has been great so far and their tech support is excellent (even if there directions are not). I think BDMridgeback's Wire-Plus solution to keep the BDM switches is a fine option and we know he's worked out all the bugs himself -- it just wasn't where I was going.
I chaffed the frog-eye signals (just really never liked that look) and LEDed the whole thing. Forward signals/running lights are from Custom Dynamics and made for the Victory Hammer -- only 2mm too big of the ID for my frontend so made shim rings to fit them up nice. The front-end is the same OEM one, just powdercoated flat black like the wheels.
Wrap-Around LED Billet Fork Clamps
The rear strip is made by Radiantz lighting and is a dual LED flexstrip riding on an aluminum form bonded to the inside of the read fender.

I have spent the last couple evenings going over Wire-Plus' so called "instructions" and making corrections and adding more info to them. I put a call into Don this morning so I can fax the changes over to him so they can get on top of the problem.
I also spent some time changing a few things in my how-to's for the Wire-Plus install as well to bring them up to Wire-Plus' updates. I only have to add some new pictures and they will be all up to snuff.
Bike looks GREAT!!! Keep up the great work and give us some feedback after some miles get on it.

The only way I will recognize your bike is the strut bags. Definitely looks great ChaCha. Nice job.

Your bike is SICK chacha! I love it all, nice work and I hope to see it, and you sexy wife, in the 2010 Calendar... which reminds me I need to put the word out and get everyone going on that.
You did an awesome job on the bike.

Chacha's bike looks great when you see it in person. When Chacha came riding into the parking lot at Full House today, Rick and I walked over from the Big Dog trailer. You know you have something special when the driver of the Big Dog rig comes over to look at your bike. I noticed lots of people checking out the paint job.
