A little further along now. I have the tubes cut to a correct length now. I also made some quick wheel spacers to get the correct sizes to make the finished ones. PVC pipe is cheap and works well for mock up.
One may notice the front wheel is changed from OE and the tire is mounted with tread the wrong way. I decided after mounting the tire to switch the brake to the right side instead of staying OE on the left. I will dismount and correct before riding. I will be changing the rear wire wheel out too but isn't a matching wheel to the front, I have a 06 softail chrome solid dish that will go on.
I also need to order a 11.5" rotor since the 300mm rotor won't work with the new caliper. New Front fender will be ordered also. I could make the OE fender work but decided to order a different one. 06 up dyna front fenders have bolts in line vertical, these mounts are lined up horizontal.
Anyway here are some update pics.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I still have a lot to do whole project wise.
Absolutely no rake in the trees and the down tubes are in line with the neck. Any added rake from trees or offset from neck would give me bad geometry. The bottom rockers are bit longer then the typical springers from HD,Paugcho or DNA.

But really getting most any to fit isn't as hard as it sounds. This one only required spacers behind the neck bearing races. I didn't cut or do any fabrication to the frame. So can easily be reassembled back to OE. Important thing to get correct is the geometry. The company I ordered from sends the tubes long for installer to cut to correct length.
I removed the tank just for ease and it will be getting painted. If one was carefull removal not necessary.
