The turn signal leads were then plugged in. This new mount features small white lights tucked up inside to light up the license plate. All that was left to do in the rear was remove the license plate from its stock location and secure it in the new mount.

For the front of the bike, we opted for this Custom Touring Front Bullet Turn Signal Kit (P/N 69577-06, $147.95). Gone is the light bar with spotlights and flat turn signals-it's been replaced with bullet signals a la the Street Glide. It's a much cleaner look and will match the rear signals.

The turn signals were bolted to the frontend using the stock light bar mounts. The mounting plates were secured to the outside of the rubber grommets. This means you can still use the detachable windshield-if you have one. The turn signal leads were routed up through the nacelle out of sight and connected. Then the headlight was re-installed.

We're all familiar with the top-mounted stock gas gauge found on Dyna, Softail, and Road King models. Sure, it looks just like the gas cap on the other side (except for the gas meter), but as tempting as it is, don't try to spin it off, because...
