Default Getting the itch to do another
I'm getting the itch to do another.

Thinking about an EVO Dyna all chopped out, really raked out with 12" apes. fender struts chopped off with a round fender right on the rear fender with a springer seat mounted rigid to the frame (no springs). 10" sporster rear shocks, 7 degree raked trees. a REAL digger!

Not really sure.

Any ideas?

It is addicting,I have been thinking about a ProStreet,with huge motor,a bike that loves the twisties and would also make a great drag racer.

what! prostreet and loves the twisties can not go together... to take turns you need a short wheel base, pro stree is completely the opposite... Joe same deal brother... do it all but do not rake that sucker... stub it! go shorter, or leave the stock length and rock a Girter! you can actually make a GSXR front end work on a 06+ dyna and that would ROCK!!! duel disk inverter forks... just sick! my dad LOVES the pro street look... so i think that is why i go the other way... can not have the same ride as DAD!

If you are gonna rake it and extend the front. Think rigid. Otherwise why go dyna. Dyna's are the street fighters, IMHO.

I hate to say it but for the low raked look I'd use a EVO softail for a base. For what Joe(JRK) was talking about I like the FXR.

As far a fender, I like the stock mounted shorty version such as GazzaTheBastard posted in the Sportster section.
