Default Stretching a street bob

A piece of my half *** chopper creation
I couldn't find any information out there for stretching a street bob. The bike isn't near done yet, bars and rear fender are next on my list.
So i just went for it and here's the result for anyone who cares or wants to do it.

Basically it's a 13 street bob that i shoved some +6 over forks on. Forks are 49mm on this dyna. The forks are off ebay, but are made by a real company and are hard chromed and come with everything required minus fork oil. This isn't a how to so i wont break it down to much.
ABS is deleted off the bike, generic front +8" brake line and stock non ABS rear line from ebay. ABS module removed and harness tucked away. I kept the front wheel speed sensor since the cable reached, i may throw in a regular spacer eventually. Other than the ABS it's a very straight forward process, the parts are out there. Club style isn't the only style.
I've ran this set up since september of 18 and the bike is still very much ride-able and handles just fine with longer forks. The pictures are from when i got it together so the brake line and sensor line weren't cleaned up yet and the bars weren't angled







Again, just thought I'd share in case anyone else wants to do this. I can try and answer anyone's questions based on my experiences.
I don't have a way to turn off the ABS light, any input is appreciated
I don't care if you hate I deleted the ABS, save your breath, otherwise thanks for stopping by!

Pretty cool. You didn't mention any frame mods. Is the neck still factory geometry?

Looks good apart from the rear fender, a bit longer would have made all the difference.

Stock neck geometry, and the rear fender is getting redone soon

I like the uniqueness. Not a real "chopper", but definitely not something you see every day. I'm not a fan of whitewalls, but I do have an appreciation for that style.
Add a foot clutch and jockey shift on top of the different bars and rear fender, and I think I'd be about set.

Ride sketchy safe on that rig!

Still stock, I'm looking into quality extended ones.
Everything in is coming eventually, maybe not a jockey shift but who knows
