Default Dyna (cafe) Sport

Designed and built my myself here in Chiangmai Thailand:

264Kg.(508.8 lbs.) wet - 38 Kg.(83.6 lbs.) lighter than stock
1557cc (95 cu.in.) producing 123 rear wheel HP with 107 ft. Lbs torque.
True Track chassis stabilizer hidden under a custom chin spoiler
17” lightweight, tubeless, aluminum rims on stainless spokes
Metmachex aluminium swingarm
Ohlins fully adjustable shocks
Ceriani 45mm inverted cartridge fork
Performance Machine 4 piston axial callipers on EBC floating rotors
Brembo RCS 19 adjustable ratio, radial master cylinder
Fat Bob bars on 90mm risers
Fibreglass 1970 Superglide boat tail, modified to a single seat design.
Balance of bodywork is hand beaten aluminium

Almost there, and will be able to drop a little more weight and better looks with the aluminium pegs.

Still unsure if I like it with or without the headlight cowl.........

That is more than stunning!! Love the color combo you picked. Keep the cowl, it flows with the tank. How about a ballpark figure on what you have into this build? Very, very original.

What year/model did the bike start life as? I'd say FXDX or FXDXT. One more thing; how do you check the oil with that pipe?

The weight and power figures are extremely impressive. 1st gen twin cam dynas all weigh about 650 pounds wet. I've taken some pretty severe weight saving measures and still weigh about 585. If you don't mind elaborating, where did you get your extreme weight savings and what are the engine specs?
