A Cool Dyna, Food For Thought.
This is one of Rocket Bobs creations. What I like about it is all the open space created around the back of the engine with the smaller battery box and the air gap between the rear tire and the frame. The fuel tank has been tunneled to sit lower over the frame which makes for a nice clean line where the tank meets the backbone, and note that the tank bottom is nicely balanced at the split line of the rocker boxes. Some of this might be photoshopped but great ideas nonetheless.

The battery box isn't smaller. You can get that air behind the rear cylinder by aggressively relocating the ignition coil and associated mounting hardware.
The gap in front of the tire can be created by cutting around 10" off the front of the fender.
The tank is rad, but I'm 99% sure it's a photochop.
The shock mount on the swingarm is especially interesting....
My 99. Stock battery box and a completely custom electronics box.

The 2005 and earlier had a steel battery tray bolted to the frame and a tighter fitting cover than the 2006+ plastic tray with a slightly wider cover as my bike does not have as much gap behind the rear cylinder.
I wonder if the shock mounts are also a photochop as the amount of travel available would have the tire well into the fender if bottomed out.
The reason I liked the photo was all the open landscape, now I like it even more because of all the tricks going on with it. I have always liked your version of the Dyna because I really think it's sleeker.
