I did come across a local manufacturer of H-D parts in NH...Called Vulcan Engineering. http://vulcanworks.net/store_4/produ...&cat=11&page=1

I was thinking of these trees, and all I would need is a genuine H-D 16" front wheel, and front fender, and bottom mount headlight. Does anyoen have any experience that they can offer with this one? Thanks in advance for the info.
Just when you think you've heard it all...Sounds like a cool idea and honestly, I've never heard of anyone doing that; going to a WG and smaller wheel. What's your plans for the front fender? Maybe pics up a FLH fender and modify?
