Default Tax return Mods 2011

So, I bought a new to me '08 HD Ultra last year and was so geeked that I didn't do anything to it at all. This year I got a pretty sizable return from Uncle Sam borrowing my money all year long.
So I drew up a plan and a price list for my personal financeer (aka my wife), and purchased the necesarry components.
Here is a broad view

List of Items: Black billet shift linkage, Smoked LED front and rear turn signals, Smoked Fender tip light covers, Engine heat guards, StreetGlide mirrors, Windshield 2 pocket pouch, Windshield/Fairing LED accent trim, and Not pictured LED rear brake light module. And then on the left side is the Hogtunes gear that I bought the Big Ultra kit; 40.4 amp, improved front and rear speaker direct replacement, FL-7W 7" woofers for fairing lower gloveboxes, and HF-1 Tweeter Pod.

Started with the stereo equipment first. Rears first.



Front Speakers


First one mounted(right side) and the scary area that has to have the amp cramed in. Notice the nice power block ran from the battery for the HID lamps that Gas and I did last summer. Makes power run for the amp take a lot less wiring.

Next is the install of the Lower Woofer speakers. This brought about a whole new problem. Hogtunes wants you to just zip-tie the wire to the highway bar and it looks ok, but Gas and I don't do "ok". So we went the more difficult time consuming method of routing the wire through the highway bar into the glove boxes. Gas drilled two holes in the top of the pipe and then one from inside glove boxes into the highway bar and we fished the wire through so its out of sight. Seal with a drop of silicone and BLAM.

Speaker installed.
Grilled installed lookin good

Amp in place and wiring ran

Next is the LED Front signals. Here is what I had

Now the fairing looks nice and clean, no mirrors hangin out in the wind breaking up the nice clean lines.
