Front forks look pretty different. Where did you get those?

Looks sick...

That is the PYO fairing right?
How hard was it and how much time?

Lifetimelifter-ya im using the stock rotors for now, i havent found anything yet that i like to go with the wheel, rc doesnt make contrast rotor yet that matches it, I had the stock ones powder coated until I fing something.
2011 street glide-thanks, no its the stock fairing that i cut and stretched,its not to bad of a project,just making sure evrything is level and stays straight and your angles and stretch is right. the whole project took about three weeks of working on it at night and weekends.

The reason that I ask is I would love to do it, but I can't bring myself to spend that much buying it from PYO with the other stuff that I have bought and buying while I am out here.

I am a structural mechanicNDT tech, welder, and composite guy on aircraft for the Marine Corps. And have been doing this for almost 17 years. I have a full machine shop, composite shop, and metal shop at my full disposal. I just don't have the know how to do that job. I am a hands on type of guy and if I seen how it was done then I could do it.

Ya I hear ya, with your background and all the tools you should have no problem doing the job. the fairing was a pain to figure out how much to stretch the headlight bucket to make the angle. I know a few guys not doing any mods to the fairing.

Do you have any pictures of when you cut and stretched the fairing?
