Beautiful bike, one to keep.

I also wondered about the reach to the bars.

But I am sure that measurements were taken.

Badbag, is your tire kit the one that keeps stock triple tree, or the "Economy" one? I love the looks, wondering if you can get a stock wheel to use or if I would have to pick a front that would compliment my rear,, (I know you don't see the back tire hardly anyway)

If it's for your 15 Glide, you keep the trees you have. Just need to change out (or modify) your lower forks so that they will accommodate your new wider fender. The bells are also notched so they can be recessed into the forks. You can get the kit at HHI that will include everything you need (including flush axle). You can pick out any 18x5.5 wheel and rotor(s). Make sure whoever mounts your tire that they mount it to go the opposite direction.
You should also consider a fairing bracket that allows you to drop it 2"-4". If you have lowers, you can only drop it 2". Dave At DD Custom Cycle has this bracket. You don't have to remove the fairing to install the bracket. Also, no lower fairing bracket support needed if you lower it. The fairing is rigid enough.

Looks beautiful, Badbag, as I've said before. I ordered and received my "easy" kit directly from Native Custom Baggers. Mines a 2012 so I opted for the easy kit that doesn't require new trees. Still waiting on front wheel. Having knee surgery in a week, so it won't be done soon. Gotta find a painter too. I love the fat front tires! I also have the FBI drop seat but just for looks, I'm 6'.

Sounds good...are you going to do air front? Good time to do it. I hear the dropseat is good for short and tall people. You'll be Able to stretch your legs, I'll be able to touch the ground flat footed. Gonna lower the fairing?
