A few weeks back Melanie got a "Hog Pod" for the FLHX and asked me to put it on. Then she saw JCZ's pics of Terrie's painted inner fairing and asked if I could take that off and get them all painted. I won't bother you with the details of how one thing led to another, you know how that goes, but here is the final list and some pics. Took a couple of weeks of working on it here and there after work.

Hog Pod
Painted inner fairing, cap and Hog Pod, Repaint outer Fairing
Sony marine stereo with blue face to match the blue Dakota digital gauges
Hawg Wired CX speakers
Hawg wired Sony head unit plug and cradle
Braided clutch and throttle cables
Braided brake lines
Stock Chrome SEUC bars take offs (Thanks Jim - hd_dude)
Internally wire the bars (Jim) (also wired in the arnott air system wires)
Full upper bar clamp
Kuryakyn Boss blade levers (close pull)
Windvest windscreen
Gilbo's Ipod mount
Speaker trim rings
Probably a bunch of other stuff

Note the Sony data cable plug to the IPod. Hand controls now control the IPod. cool. Radio doesn't show very blue in these pics.

Sweet!

I love the looks of the Dakota Digital guages. I just can't justify the cost for me, personally. They are slick, though. The Sony marine radio ties in very nicely, much better than the orange HD LCD.

That's a slick setup. Congrats!

Which Sony did you use?

Went with the CDX M (marine) 501 IP (IPod). The colors can be switched from red to blue. For $119 online it's a great head unit for the price. I think there is one out now that's blue tooth compatible. Not sure of it's blue tooth functions but at least with a bluetooth adaptor for the IPod, one could go cable less. Two downsides to Sony's built in IPod data cable are; the cable is hardwired to the unit instead of a plug in, and the data/charger cable plug (to IPod) is 4x the thickness as Apples OEM plug. It does have the F RA holes though

Looks good Jon! I like the SG too, light and nimble. We have the smaller TP for it but I didn't post any pics with it as I haven't changed out the hinges yet. Everyone here loves to point that out! With your engine set up, your SG must be a blast to ride.

You already know that I think it's an excellent look, Roger.

Just want to say to all the blue and black SEEG owners.........these Dakotat Digital guages and head unit would look real nice on your bike. It was day light when we rode together on Sat. but I did turn on my LEDs and they're a very close match in color.........kind of a cobalt blue!

Decisions....decisions....decisions....

HP is 106
Tq is 116 and is above 100 ft#s of torq at 3200 and stays there until 5400 rpm
It never gets old twisting this throttle and I get anywere from 37-41 mph highway 2 up loaded depending how much I beat on her

Roger,
Now that I was re-directed back to this thread, and since SGChick has joined the site let me recommend this addition to her ride..

Chrome Rocker Box Bolt Covers

Matching the styling of our classic chrome headbolt covers, these chrome-plated Rocker Box Bolt Covers add chrome to your engine. Easy-to-install, each cover is held in place by a steel spring clip. Although each engine has a total of twelve rocker box bolts, not all bolts are visible on all models, so the covers are sold in packages of four.

This product is available in multiple variations. Be sure to look for the one that fits the specific model and year of your motorcycle.

Ride Safe,
Fired00d

May as well buy 3 packs, cause after you put the caps on that you can easily get too, you can still see the bolt that is a bit more difficult

(right side, near throttle body)

Good point, though sometimes 3 or more packs, cause when having motor warranty work done, the techs "forget" those hard to see ones. (Don't ask how I know this)

I'm considering the Sony CDX-M60UI, this is similar to the 50 but uses an USB cable for the iPod connection. That way I can pack the iPod in teh saddlebag. I use a iPod 30 GB video, and it is susceptible to bumps mounted on the handle bars.
