Sexy and tough. Nice work to whoever the owner is. I like it when the details make me wonder 'what model is that?!?'

I might be the only one in the world who prefers a bobtail fender though.

The fender had to be widened. He split the stock Dyna wrap fender and split it down the middle, then welded in a strip of sheet metal. Thats one of the main reasons why the tail light is gone from the center of the fender. Just addeda HDrunning light/brake converter kit.Also, the struts are stock Dyna struts.

Thanks, but I wouldnt be using the stock light if I go through with this. Plus, it looks like he had to widen the fender.

Anyway to get some more detailed info on this? How much did he widen the fender? Anything else he had to do to make it fit? Thanks.
