MMH FXDB "Build" Thread

Starting a build on my 2008 FXDB. Got the bike last summer and it was stock:

Unfortunately last October, I laid the Street Bob down: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/gener...-bob-down.html

The damage was minor but would require repainting. In addition, I was looking for an excuse to transform the bike into a club/thug bike with an emphasis on handling.

The bike will be painted as follows: denim black w/ natural gas (blue/white) color ghost flames. The bike will be predominantly black, but not a totally blacked out.

Parts painted denim black w/ Natural Gas (light blue) Ghost Flames: Fenders, tank, fairing, battery cover and fuse block cover
Parts painted gloss black: Lower sliders, fork brace, (debating about getting rims & hubs powder coated in gloss black too!)
Parts painted wrinkle black: Engine/Transmission/Primary: mostly wrinkle black (mostly stock) w/ exception of adding the rocker housing & rocker cover

In addition, it will have the following parts:

The tank will be replaced w/ Low RIder tank so I can get tank mounted tach
Memphis Shades Road Warrior quick detach 1/4 also in denim black w/ ghost flames
Handlebars: moto/dirt bike style bars w/ approx 6" riser (these will be black)
Shocks: Rear - 13.5" RWD RS-1 & Front - RaceTech Gold Emulators in the forks
Engine Mounts: Rear: Sputh Stabilizer, Heim Joint top link Front: Predator mount
Front Brakes: Dual front brakes (right Low Rider slider), Speed Merchant radial mounts & Tokico brakes
Drag Specialties fork brace

To be continued as progress is made...

From: Depends on who wants to know.........and why.

Another great build thread, awesome!

Nice looking bike. It sounds like a good plan, looking fwd to witnessing the progress.

Edit: I love the pipes on your bike. I think that style pipe fits these bikes perfectly!

I too like the look of staggered pipes, but will eventually go to a 2 to 1 for the mid range torque (not in this build because of lack of funds).

I'm glad you did not resent me copying your build thread intro. Reading your thread motivated me to start mine!
