I got them fitted, connected up and flashing away. I think they look just right but I'll post some pics so you can see for yourself.
In the end I had to cut a bit off the indicator stalk to allow the bolt to reach through the thickness of the fender and the supporting bracket inside (something I hadn't calculated for when I did the dry build) but in my opinion bringing the bullet closer to the fender looks even better!
Getting that job done means I can finally fit the back rest and now that's on I have decided on a wider touring pad for it. It will only be fitted when I'm taking someone pillion so comfort is more important than looks in this instance.
I have also made up my mind how I want the front end to look and that involves black bars so I'm now on the look-out for somewhere to get parts powder-coated. These will include the foot controls brake and gearshift so I'm hopeful that it will work out cheaper than buying the black billet levers that Harley sell.

Am looking forward to being your passenger - a wide back rest should be very comfortable! Cathx
