Sweet bike saint, job well done. I wish I had the cash and workshop to fab MY bike HD didn't build (dyna/vrod mash). I'm suprised you didn't go with the fxdx style dual front discs.

if you ever rode a hopped up dyna with them... you would not say that...when the bike is set up to ROCK in the turns and perform as well as it looks these bars are AWESOME for allowing the rider to control the bike without having to be leaned over the frnt like you would with reg drags... they are awesome bars in all honesty for preformance minded riders

Rock on, Saint. That bike makes a statement, as subtle as a sledgehammer...

I have a question. What is the rod sticking out from the forks on the left side? What is it used for and what is it's function? I have not seen one before. By the way, you have a great looking bike.

Exactly Joe! They are perfect for the riding style the bike is set up for...period! As for the comment, bold statement for somebody that hasn't done an eccessive amount of work to make their bike their own yet! LOL Great work D!

Do they all stay connected? It would be awesome if you could carry both using the mini rail as a handle. That's one thing I like about throw-overs...being able to carry them with one hand (or over the shoulder).

Your bike is tremendous. Form and function. Kudos.
