Wouldn't need it if taking the fairing off , just cut all the wires and wrap electric tape around 'em . |

ok,here's what i had in mind.when i bought this bike,wasn't looking for a dresser.why did i buy it?price.so now i want to change it into what i was looking for in the 1st place.if you've seen jbones pic of his bike(gangsta apes),this is a start of where i want to go w/out the bags but don't want to ruin anything so i can't use the fairing again(electronics) in case it needs to become a bagger again forwhat ever reason.i hope this is all making sense.main question is,are all those wires i'm going to have to deal with,removable without cutting and reuseable with new gauges,ie-dif speedo,gas gauge,ect.w/ dif fuel tank.

Keep the ultra the way it is and buy the bike ur lookin for!!! Then u have 2 choices of bike to ride!!!! I wouldn't start ripping into the ultra, could cause more problems than anything else. IMHO

well but see blackdog,you're a bagger fan.me,not so much.i like ape hangers,extended front ends,drag pipes,fast and loud.i also don't like all that extra weight and a little top heavy.maybe because this is the first bagger i've had but i don't really need all that luggage space.again,i bought this bike because of price.to good to pass up.now i want to put my own touch to it.not much you can do to a dresser that i'm aware of.thats why i'm here asking.not looking for don't do it,already heard that,looking/hoping for here's some things you can do type suggestions.

Wires are going to be a problem. Also there is not a nice looking frame under all that Ultra stuff.
