Definitely an amazing transformation, that's for sure!
I can't help but wonder though, how much did this cost? Will you ever be able to recoup any of this cost if you decided to sell or trade? At the end of the day it is still a dyna super glide and we all know that aftermarket parts add almost nothing to the value. If you had put the money into buying a street glide, at least you'd get a good chunk of it back when/if you ever sold.

But to 95% of people, it already looks like every other street glide.

The 5% is worth more in my book

I totally agree! It also let me know how much people know about Harley models when they come up a either say "nice Street Glide" or "nice custom work with the Dyna, it almost fooled me" or the least liked "WHY?" Those last two usually come from that 5%. But I will say this, IMO, Bobby's bike blows away my work with all the detail he has in his.

The wiring was a total pain in the *** ... used service manual from both bikes (13 Dyna and 14+ touring)and built my own wiring harness
