I'm looking to buy a softail soon, and this is what I'm shooting to build. If you pros out there could tell me what the best base would be (I'm guessing fatboy?), and then elborate on what type of fenders these are, wheel & tire sizes and type, headlight, etc. I'd really appreciate it. (Also, if you know where I can get more pictures of this or similar styled bikes, that would be killer too )
FLSTN or FLSTC as the base (because of the FL front fender). The rer fender is a custom stretch off a stock rear fender. The bike has a 7" stock headlight with a frenched visor trim ring, the front wheel appears to be a 21x3.5" with a 120/70-21 tire. The rear wheel is either a stock 16x3.5" or and 18x3.5 with a 140/mu85 or 150 tire. Below is my bike, the next mod will be to add a Klock Werks stretched rear fender....
It started like this:
That bike has a stretched rear fender with an 18" rear wheel and a 21" front wheel and it's probably sitting on air ride out back, hard to tell with the black forks how much the front is lowered. Looks like DNA Mammoth wheels. Stock headlight bucket powdercoated black with the chrome visor trim ring.
You can start with a Deluxe or a Heritage if that front fender appeals to you more than the Fatboy fender. I like the Heritage as a base to start from because that gives you bags and a windshield that you can take off for that "look" or you can put them on for a road trip. If you buy a Deluxe, you'll have to buy those things separately and the differences between the Deluxe and the Heritage is minimal really. Mainly lights, fender trim and seat. You can search for the "Vicla" thread... tons of way cool bikes in that thread.
