Yes - I actually finished this winter, lost my job, got depressed, found another job (2.5 months later!) and now I'm finally riding and smiling...
Some more pics - I settled on the Mustang Wide Tripper seat and I can tell you that after riding HOURS AND HOURS on it, I'm so darn glad I did!
But I have an itch to build another bike. So I think I'm going to sell this one. I absolutely love riding it - I just had so much fun building it that I want to do another one.
Here's how I solved the gap under the seat in the rear. I used a nylon bushing and extended screw. I used a rubber washer between the fender and nylon bushing to prevent scratching the paint and also let me have some play to tighten it. It's very secure.
The whole photo journey start to finish is here.

Glad to see you went with the mustang seat too (Was my pick)
So is it DONE done or are there still things you'd like to do?

Subtle small stuff most people wouldn't notice.
Also I would swap the HD cam cover for a Joker Machine cover that matches my derby cover.
Maybe snag a removable stick-on pillion seat. I kept the rear pegs on and the Voodoo seat is strong enough to sit on, even though I got the shorter version.
I considered black front fork rubber boots to hide the chrome there. Still debating that.

Cruiser
Piranha Teeth
Exhaust pipes removed, cleaning to prep for fiberglass wrap.
Completed / installed wrapped pipes.
Received my Alley Cat fuel and voltage meter gauge today. Still waiting for the matching fuel cap. 6 pages of instructions included! Very thorough - I'm impressed. This is my second Kuryakyn product (also installed black ISO grips) and I am impressed with the quality of both products. This product fits Dyna - the green and red PCBs you see at the top there are for different year ranges of Dyna. My '08 Fat Bob will use the red one. Installation was a snap. I had already removed my stock fuel gauge a while ago, so getting this installed consisted of (1) reading the instructions, (2) removing a nut under the new fuel/voltage gauge, (3) putting the red PCB in place under the gauge and securing with 4 washers/nuts, (4) sliding the wiring into the channel on the tank and pressing the gauge into place, and (5) attaching the AMP Connector properly and connecting it to the bike. Finally, I secured it with a zip tie to pull the wiring up under the tank and hide it.
Here's the fuel / voltage gauge installed (left).
This video shows how it works. It feels good to see this thing almost complete. Kuryakyn Alley Cat Fuel & Voltage Gauge for Dyna
I am looking to get the "piranha teeth" as you call them but I can't find anything on the Web or on Chrome Glows website. I have searched piranha teeth, piranha tooth, shark tooth,teeth, jagged aluminum mounting bracket and I can't find this item. Is Piranha teeth the real name?

I am buying a Voodoo fender and I was looking to mount my lights under the fender just like you did.

As for the piranha teeth - I placed my order on the phone, and when I was sending him pictures while we were talking about what I wanted to do, he suggested the "piranha teeth". I don't think they are listed in their website. But if you call them, they will know what you're talking about. You can even (while you're on the phone) email them a pic from my build and they'll know exactly what it was. For the LED flexible light array, it's part number 4200-3030RS
see this: https://imgur.com/quOi1lp BUT I RECOMMEND YOU CALL THEM because there may be a signal stabilizer for your application. They're great to deal with.
If you're wanting to do the lights like I did, you might find more photos from my build (but especially mounting the lights) on my imgur gallery here. I can't remember if I posted all the photos here on hdforums. Feel free to PM me if you run into issues or have questions.
