Default A customized Super Glide

The next evolutionary step with my 2012 FXDC has taken place. The list of changes is 3 pages worth of single spaced typed, size 10 Calibri body script, So I wont try to cover it all here. I got a lot of inspiration and ideas from a lot of people here. Many thanks to those of you that I have pestered with questions and comments (Jaron B and JMPancoast). A lot of it was a vision that I had from the get go.. It really is now a one of a kind bike.

Thing is... I still aint finished... LOL (are you ever really done with one of them?) Next I am going to have a custom shop paint the electrical caddy, battery and a front fairing covers for me to match the paint with the rest of the bike.

Lastly will be the motor build. I'm still on the fence about going full tilt retard and into the 124/131 range .. or just doing a nice 107 and calling it good.. time will tell.

The seat is a Mustang One piece vintage and the handle bars are what HD made as stockers on the 07 and 08 screamin Eagle Dynas...

The front fork system is also an inverted Marzocchi 53mm that came stock on the 07 & 08 FXDSEs'. I intend to find some type of 2 inch gauge (hopefully an oil pressure & temperature gauge) as well as fabricating an attachment plate, to fill the top notch in the upper area of the handlebars eventually.

The wheels are from a 2007 FXSTSSE and are a 21" Revolver front and 17 x 5 Revolver rear with Avon skins.. (the back being a 190)

EDIT: for those of you wondering that's a 2013 FXDWG dash (that required quite a few mods to install) and an HD 4 inch all in one digital gauge.

Thanks for the kind words fellas.. I know a lot folks here don't like chrome and shiny.. they either hate to clean it or don't like its appearance. So there are a plethora of black/blacked out bikes on here..

I chose to go away from that theme and built it obviously to suit my tastes..

Nicely done. Lots of subtle mods a lot of people wouldn't notice. You could probably convince somebody its a CVO.

Thanks Reindeer.. I think subliminally ( I have always loved the CVOs' .. but not their prices at the time.. nor some of their issues back then.. or how most of the ones that remain.. have since been moded now).. that is (The CVO) the direction I am more or less headed in I think, only with my take on it.. I may add a few more CVO cues like a hydraulic reservoir driven clutch.. maybe some braided lines .. but kudos to you for 'picking up' on my meme..
