What ever springer you go with you will want 0 offset trees and to have the downtubes in line with the neck shaft. Your trail will be way off if not.
Does that mean you found the post and cost? Or commenting on something else? Anyway if you go springer the info in the above linked post may have some helpful info for you.

Hi Jayson,
That is the infamous Mud Mod. It is a cut football cover. I just took the trim ring off to reveal the chrome. You wouldnt believe how many people ask me about it.
Thanks again to Mud

2001 fxdwg. here's what i know about it. its a factory custom paint orange pearl metallic/black pearl metallic. #1 of 77. it is a factory 95ci bike and was bought new at chattahoochee harley in columbus georgia by a guy who works with me. i went to chattahoochee and talked to them about the bike and they said that the original dealer invoice sheet shows no indication of designation(ie.FXDWG) but only SPO. the salesman at chatt. said that SPO was Special Production Order and that they had done several over the years. he said to the best of his recollection it was one of 5 WillieG bikes they got at one time. ive never seen the colors anywhere else and when it got knocked over bout a year ago i had to pull the tank and have chatt. send it back to harley for repair and paint cause they wouldnt release the paint code(not even to chatt). they may have been shooting me a line of crap but thats the line i got. id love to see if anyone else has seen one like this.

Has anyone replaced the stock battery band? I bought a used chrome skull band and it looks like the only method to secure it is with black adhesive tape. It makes me a little nervous that it might fall off while riding.
