Shit... it wasn't too bad... the biggest issue is getting the fairing off... 3 windshield screws, 2 side screws, and the 2 under the fairing between the forks. Then its simply line up the colored wires...

Time to bore you with some BS Harley junk...

Well I been working on the bikes little by little throughout the week with all this family stuff going on.

I had the Nightster on the lift already to start to bolt up the parts from her 883.



The chrome don't match but got it installed anyway.. a temp gauge


Put on the engine bar and highway pegs



Got the tach put on... it was a 2 trip event because the damn 1200 speedo bucket is part of the riser clamps vs the 883s are seperate pieces. So I just ordered a new riser top clamp to finish the job


The windshield really kills the looks but its function over form


Got the cruiser-mate installed



Pulled the front fork reflectors



Smoked out the front blinkers... looks great with the black pods


Then I ordered some 1157 red bulbs on ebay cause I wanted to smoke out the rears... but HD don't sell red 1157's. Also pulled the reflector off the rear fender.





Then I finished up some stuff on the "Street Classic".

During my few trips to the dealer I decided I wanted to pick up a few things to dress it up.

I picked up the Willie G skull pieces for the gas cap, timing cover, and derby cover




Then worked on the final pieces... I tell ya while HD directions are far superior to many others... this particular mod was complete choas in the directions. I ended up just looking at the parts and pictures and did it on my own.

Pulled the map pocket, liner, tourpack, saddlebags, and seat all out/off.






What was left....


Then I installed the 2 new fender strut covers, and the quick disconnect adapters. Also the new lisence plate mount




Slid the new trunk mount onto the bike


And the bike is back to normal



But now its detachable... YEA





I'm very happy the way it all turned out... Can't wait to get some miles in now that the family stuff is calming down and hopefully the weather starts to get better.

Man you are going to have to stop with these posts or you are going to make me go buy a Street Glide and abandon the Dog. That is what I was going to get before the Big Dog. Nahhh, not yet :D I like what you are doing there, keep the posts coming :2thumbs:

Hey Gas!
Have you looked at the Headlamp,Passing lamp and Turn signal trim rings ?
They really make a big difference in the looks of the front end. :2thumbs: I put them on all my baggers.

Don't forget the smoked passing lamps... just trying to help you spend a little more :hi:



I went with the Willie G stuff on my Road King as well :angry:
Picked up the Derby Cover, Air Filter Center, Gas Cap, Fuel Guage, and Chrome Levers off Craigs List
...and the front/rear Fender lamp Covers(from the stealer, but not sure that I really want them now :rolleyes:).

Also got the Black Carlini 1.5" Gangster Apes... will be posting some pics when my cables come in.

Still looking for some forward controls...

I thought about it... but want to see em first in person.

Handlebars... hmm... not sure about that.

Cutter... sorry abt the matchy... I got another bud w/a SG that has the same covers. Oh well... HID... the only thing I hate about the HID with the spots is it will look unbalanced IMO by making the spots look yellow in comparison.

I always thought that those harley rings were junk. I had the headwinds bezel on mine but I removed all my lights. I would buy the headwinds headlight bezel with there spotlights. Here's there bezels for electra glides and road kings.
Headwinds: Headlight Bezels
