As has been mentioned ...Most of the "S" is gone (FXDS) and some "B" and "X" have been added as well as custom parts (Those Sliders are from an era before they even made Dynas (but that's OK)). Have pictures with you when you go for parts. You may also want to ask here first (with pics) before ordering online or you might get frustrated and the hassle with incorrect parts

The belt is wider because it's a 99...and you can take the cover off

Good Luck

Jealous....that's a sweet looking bike. Price looks pretty good for the shape she's in, too.

Ride the s#it out of it now.

I love the look. Someone spent a ton on mods to make her look like an early FL. It "may" be slammed a little too low for my taste though. That front end looks to have almost zero travel. You can always add a couple inches. The wiring job on the bars needs some attention (looks like crap), but that's easily fixed. I'd run it through the bars.
I would say overall she was VERY nicely bought. I wouldn't change the fenders. That's what give it the cool look IMHO. Probably very few in the country like it. Have fun.

bringing up the front is at the top of the list of things to do.

I personally also like the fenders. There are a bunch of people in the Dyna section who have modded our bikes into what we call "FL Dynas." https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...ront-ends.html and https://www.hdforums.com/forum/group...est-group.html

It looks like the rear of your bike is slammed also with lowering blocks.
