The lowers look great - I was interested to see if you'd go orange or black - I like the black.

Take the glove boxes out and have them modified to fit a 6 1/2" speaker (I suggest Polk Momos - they are marine grade). Then add the Hawg Tunes 4 ch amp and matching 5 1/2" speakers in the fairing and you will have a killer sound system. Even better, swap the head unit for the Sony model that comes with the adapter (so it works with the standard controls). You can even put an integrated iPod hookup on there (charge, play and control). Schweet!!

Besides, what's another $2k amongst friends...

This project sounds fun.  I might do that at some point.  The biggest issue I have right now is that my Heavy Breather on the right side protrudes into where the right glove box lives.  I can't install the right box and probably can't modify it to fit a speaker either

How does the heavy breather affect you leg room?

How does it do in the rain?

I bump the heavy breather every now and again, but it really isn't much different than the stock breather. 

It is designed to work in the rain.  It has a cover that you can put over it in heavy rain.  The cover also looks cool.  It has the SE Eagle on it.

My buddy Gary with the Brakes on.  I'm trying to convert Gary from a Honda VFR, he's almost ready for a RK

Looks good Mike.  The spoiler is cool!

Thanks Jim!  What would be even more cool, if I could get it to do a night rider pattern, back and forth!  Ok, well, maybe not, but it sounded good.

The Knight Rider LED would be cool!  Never the less it looks awesome! 

How hard was it to splice into the break lights?  Is it plug and play or do you need to splice/solder?  Did you install a quick disconnect so you can remove the TP easily?

There was some splicing and solder involved, but I left it up to an "expert", a local motorcycle paint shop here locally.  He's an HD tech and opened up his own deal.  I paid $20 for him to wire it up with quick disconnects that you can hid under the seat.  You have to pull off the left saddle bag and cover, the wire will be in there.  You splice and souder there.   He spliced and soudered to give me me another foot or two.  If you do the HD length, it's apparently really tight and your connection is exposed. 

The TP is on for the weekend, we have an overnight trip for our anniversary.  Were going to Copperhead lodge and coming home on Sunday.  I need to get a wall mount for my TP.

Mike-

Are you and the Mrs. headed past (or near) me on your way to Copperhead? I'd love to buy you a cup of coffee in the morning on the way up. Exit 8 off 575.

I appreciate the offer!  But I don't know what time Jennifer will be ready to go.  I wanted to go at the crack of dawn, she translates that to the crack of noon!  Just kidding, we'll probably be heading up 575 around 10 or 11.  We have to hightail it to the lodge to drop off our frozen Vegas wedding cake.  I guess we are supposed to eat it on our 1st anniversary! 

We definitely need to hook up though!  If I don't do Biketoberfest nest weekend, lets try to ride up by your neck of the woods.
