I built and assembled most of this on a pvc stand I built so I wasn't without my bike ... Bike was only down for 16 days total here is some of what/ how I did it
Exhaust installed
Here is the plate I made to attach cowbells to triple tree. I extended it out to fill gap between trees and skirt for a cleaner look . I did have to grind a notch in bottom of trees for cowbell bolt to sit into
Rough mock up
This is how it looks with skirt
Drilled and tapped
Painted and ready to install
Wiring guages
How I actually tested the guages lol
Rough mock up on stand
Biketronics kit installed
Wheel complete
Guages back from Zee's
Front end swapped out and lowered , cowbells installed
First test fit of fairing .. To attach fairing I picked up a used 2016 triple tree on eBay and cut the 4 clamps off of it flipped sides and installed upside down to get mounting points where I needed them .. Notched top triple clamp 1/4 inch so mounting piece would set at right height from top of tree
Old guage removed hole was filled with touring fuel door cover . I made a plate that covered bottom of hole .. Attached with two screws and push button to basically sandwich it on ... See below
Repurposed emblem from gas tank leather to cover ignition hole
Wow ... A lot of this pics put the text in the wrong spots .. I guess y'all can figure out what goes where ... Thanks for all the positive replies everybody
Also the clutch cable was ran through the front of fairing like older models ... An interesting side note .. I think they were originally designed to do that ... In the accessorys catalog , if you look at 3 pocket fairing pouch it has a pic of early prototype .. Also there is a hole in mounting brackets for cable to run through
Here is the pic straight from HD website for 3 pocket fairing pouch ... Notice clutch cable
Here is a shot from inside my fairing ... I used a rubber grommet from a tractor trailer air line inside of bracket hole ... Perfect fit
Dealers are greedy, even though the new line up should be out soon, so go figure.
I like those wheels, you said that are new from HD? I'd love a set for my Dyna...well done!
I bought them new from Harley it isn't a " new line" it is the front wheel off of a freewheeler trike ... Still an enforcer bit rotor s mount different ... Rear would not work on your bike

Reason: Typo
I just assumed you started with a switchback then read on.
Job well done, there is no way to tell that started as an FXDC. LOve the front end mock up stand.
Would love to know the weight difference between this and a street glide.
I say keep it. Thanks for sharing!
I would say not much difference in weight at all ... Maybe 50-75 lbs tops ... I can really tell it adds a lot of weight but on the other hand, it seems way more planted on the road and smoother riding
