Default Cutting up my FXDB

Here is my winter project, Cut rear fender struts and mounted new fender to the swingarm, made new fender struts and brackets, relocated lower coilover mounts forward and down on swingarm which lowered it and gave it the look of the old FL's, fabbed a new stepped exhaust, and mounted a new Redtail seat though the seat in the pics is not mine. Mine will be darker in color.

Fantastic job. I really like the exhaust. I'd like to do something like that with my fender once the wife lets me get something else for 2up.

Thats awsome mate! Love to fabricate an exhaust system..make some 2-1 or 2-2 upswept at the rear and you'd sell cart loads lol.. What abot the locatin of the rear suspension..will it put more or less stress on the swing-arm ??

Regards Rick

Wow, this is literally the inspiration I've been looking for. If I can get over the hangup of never being able to sit 2up (which is probably going to be never anyways) this is definatley the direction i will take it. Gorgeous, thanks for sharing these photos!
