Nice colors, I really like the paint!


Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Really like the mirrors. Are they functional? I switched back to the stock mirrors because the Kurakyn (sp?) mirrors had blind spots. They look good, but that was about it. So, do the mirrors you installed give the same visibility as the stock mirrors?


Didn't buy into the hype, you can keep the change.

Roadworthy: Those are close to stock colors in a T100 style they just pop with the black and I love the racing stripe affect.

Eddieb: Ya they are functional I wont go back to any other mirror. The only problem I have with them is the mirror has a slight convect on the edges. I got them off Ebay 30 bucks I think you can defiantly tell they are cheaper when you look close. Other then that they are identical to CNG once that are over 100 dollars

Mountainman: I have a small grab handle I made. I will put on for solo riding and a blacked out sissy bar for when my wife rides with me.

Lookin' good Chucky. The racing stripes are sweet. I like the bars & the mirrors. Curious about your rear lights. (They look good, by the way) You're running turn signals on the front, so I assume the rear are both brake & turn signals. But maybe not because in NY turn signals must be amber. Your lenses are red. Do they illuminate amber in turn signal mode?

With the light I figure If Harley can do it from the factory with out Amber turns in the back. There cant be a law because every nightster would be illegal. I do need to put on some license plate lights that is a law

I looked into that when I did mine and the rule seems to be:
Amber can ONLY be a turn indicator. If its wired as a running light its illegal.
Red can be turn, run and brake indicator.

A personal observation....
Amber for turn seems to stand out more. Red seems to blend in but looks much better
Red as a running light also used as a turn indicator seems to screw people up BUT looks better

Ok, just got my special construction paperwork from the state yesterday. It states "Turn signals must show amber to the front and red or amber to the rear."
