I'm doing a winter project on a 18 sgs in twisted cherry. Since I don't see a ton of bikes in that color with aftermarket parts. It will obviously not be done for a few months but I will post pics as I go..... so the plan is top shop new and improved minister fender with viper bags and stretched side covers (not really sold on those yet). Swapping out my legend revo a 13" for thundermax iride rear suspension. Bad dad hybrid 21" front fender and smt machining straightline wheels. 21x3.25 front and 18x5.5 rear with matching floating rotors. I Will possibly be adding 1 more amp to the speakers I already have or changing that out if I decide I don't want to cut into the new bags[emoji51]. I just want a clean, not over the top street glide. I do like the wide tire bikes, but im not sure how long that fad will last. I dont want a show bike or one that just looks cool parked. I dont want a bar hopper that breaks my back. I wanted a bike that I could ride 400 miles in a day and not regret it. So here we go[emoji16] what the back of the bike looks like now....

Got a little more done. Front air ride through the iride system, center stand, and 21 front wheel. Still waiting for rear wheel to show up.

Can anyone share spark plug wire configuration to coil left and right side? I can not find it in the service manual. Just want to make sure I put them back correct

New color is house of kolor brandywine over black base. Looks a little similar to twisted cherry in the shade, but in the sun its totally different. Will try to get better pics when I finish. Also got my hands on a boom gts and sent the gauges out to zee's custom gauges. New smt straightline wheels 21" front with matching rotors and 18" rear. Bad dad hybrid front fender and new fuel moto rtx 2 into 1 exhaust. Engine build coming in march

That is a tuff call! It looks really good to me with the slight contrast, but also think all black would be good too? You seem to know what you are doing so I know it will be perfect!

Yeah I'm torn on the contrast of black and orange. It looks great in the garage, but im afraid once it hits the sun it might be a different story. You might be right on the all black. Im gonna see if the painter can work his magic and paint the orange part brandywine for a perfect match

I cant believe harley's best way to attach the defiance gauge bezels was 3m tape. There is just not enough surface area for a good bond. I took mine apart again and glued them
