I am looking at converting my '04 Screamin' Eagle Electra Glide to a trike on the Hannigan Transformer. I know I want the rake modification and mechanical reverse. What I'm not sure about is running boards. Do they hold a lot of heat around the motor? Are they sturdy for the duration? Are the fog lights effective or a decoration? If I go this route I want to have everything painted at the same time. Thanks!
