Now that's cunning, what looks like a blue dot tail light lens that doesn't light up the blue dot, so shouldn't be non ADR compliant.
I can just imagine the coppers annoyance, following you waiting for you to hit the brakes and light up the blue dot so they can bust you, then your brake light goes on and no blue light.
Always did like the old blue dot tail light lenses.

Headlight and passing lamps with blue dot front blinkers next on the list don't know about rear blinkers might be a bit out of my league being caddy lights don't want damage them

Caddy would be tricky for sure, I'm not as ancient as you blue but I can't say I've seen a caddy tail with a blue dot......you might be in danger of trendsetting if you go down that road haha

Got back from hols and got stuck into the bar swap on the Low Rider ST. Pretty straight forward, bit tight on RHS/TBW internal bar wiring, but other then that, nil issues. Phone mount left to install then put it all back together.

Look's good John, I actually sat on a LRS at the dealers with 9.5" risers (thrashing supplies) and it felt close to perfect to me but very pricey with the speedo bracket and wire and cable extensions, while I was there I ordered for my forward controls a black shift rod(part number 33600318) lever and black shift rod(33600259) why this doesn't come with the original kit I don't know, the third pic is how the f/controls come

Yeah its not a cheap endeavour, risers, bars, grips, throttle tube, cable extensions, clutch extension, upper brake cable.

These are 8.5in riser with a bout a 3.75in bar height.

I'll post a photo of the trick phone mount when fitted that clamps to the risers and can put phone above or below dash.

Billet comp and upgraded springs going in.

nice one John, I went into my dealer/tuner the other day and inquired about the compensator upgrade and they reckon it is not required as the screaming eagle 131 come with the same one as in all the M8's and they have only seen two compensators fail mainly from doing burnouts etc, I'm a little unsure now I might just fit the heaver springs and try my luck, I was recommended to use Belray primary and clutch for the primary oil

Theyre blowing up stock under all kinds of different circumstances, seems to be a literal luck of the draw as to whether you get a normal one or a brittle one. Searching it in any Facebook group will bring up all the stories from people thrashing it, to the blowing up sitting on cruise control on the highway or just idling at a petrol station. To me, it honestly seems like the metal is too hard and brittle.

Some people say "oh harley will cover it under warranty" but the potential damage from your comp breaking is full on. If your lucky it'll stay somewhat together. If your unlucky it'll wedge under the crank and crack your inner primary. The force going through the end of your crank in those scenarios blows out your runout.

All good that harley replace your comp and primary if needed, but I'll guarantee they're not checking runout on the crank voluntarily.
