Nicee ride. CAn't wait to see more pics. Hey, is your 23" up front going to mount up with out additional rake?

 

Every time I see a color-matched frame, it makes me want to tear my bike down and paint the frame, too.

 

Thought about it too...lot of work and time....

 

Gonna be winner for sure. You made a cool bike even better....! ! ! 2 snaps and a twist.....! ! !

 

Couple things I found on the kickstand issue today from some old threads I read on here today. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing the FB stand is similar to the Deluxe, but probably not set up like the Deluxe and the Lo stand which is set up for the already -1" suspension drop from the factory.

For the Deluxe stand several people took it off and either put it in a metal brake or soft vice with a piece of pipe for leverage (yea) and bent it at the first bend from the top adding about 3 degrees. Others bought an HD short stand (which I don't think would help with a Deluxe or FB with the 2" drop up front..think it's set up for 1" drops) and others bought something like the Arlen Ness front mount or the rear mount telescopic stand.

I'm probably going to pull mine off and find a place with a brake to give it a little extra bend.

There's a Springer at the local dealership with the color matched frame, oil tank etc...it is hard to resist the urge to strip her down.

 

Wow that thing is lookin sweet man.

 

I have the HD stand that is 1" shorter and it sits great with my bike slammed with the shotgun and a 2" drop in the front. I leave it sitting the wheel facing straight for hours and never a concern.

 

Sweet looking Ryd! Welcome to the forum.
