I think the stock SB is one of the best looking bikes HD builds. It is a basic light touring bike that can convert to a capable cruiser in a minute. It is reminiscent of Harleys of the 60's before the buying public decided they needed a big screen tv and lazy-boy as part of their bike.

You're right. That's a much better looking fender!

I've been patiently waiting to come across a used Big Blue Pearl front fender from a Slim, FatBoy or FatBob.

By the way, your bike looks killer.

Nice job on the fender swap. As others have said, I seriously considered the Switchback before buying my Super Glide but couldn't get over the propeller inspired mag wheels. After seeing the Slim fender on your bike it turns out the fender was unsightly (to my eyes anyway) and the wheel isn't so bad. Your use of blue and black combo is spot on. A bike I would like to see in person.

I'm always amazed at Harley owner's ability to use their imagination to put together a vision of their rides.
