Looks good. Thinking that two small pin stripes matching the gold Harley lettering and black swooshes on the tank would really tie this together.
Also, the fairing IS big, so you have this imbalance between front and rear. And while your bags are nice, they make this worse. Some HARD bags painted to match would balance that out.
Just nice to have an expandable bag that doubles when unzipped, and they are quick disconnect so you can take your items with you. I.E. hotels and long trips.
Also installing a radial mount caliper setup with Tokico brakes this coming up weekend.
Seriously diggin this ride. Always been a fan of the FXRT. How are you finding the ride? Any buffeting or turbulence?
BTW, checked out the 2 vids you posted. Nice rides.

She handles like a dream and Im a bigger guy. I would personally go with the bigger wind screen (11) because it would probably be over your head as opposed to your forehead of your helmet. I also built a Dyna awhile ago with a similar setup and had zero wind on my body and helmet.

Funny you say that. The Memphis Shades batwing fairing on my Low Rider was transplanted from my Dyna . For some reason, it worked better on the Dyna. I keep experimenting with windscreens and angles, but still get helmet buffeting at higher speeds. The geometries of the two bikes are similar, and I even changed the bars to lower bars like on my Super Glide. Weird.
And your bike DOES look terrific.
