Default Street bob remake

So I was looking at mutley’s shovel on the shovel section.
Really liked the way the rear fender seats with the dyna like frame and the way the bike looks. So I was searching for an older bike to do this kind of job on. But then I figured out that getting a fourth bike would be hard to pass by the ol lady….
So I am looking at my street bob, and figured out ill do it with it… went out to the garage and started by removing the rear fender and ordering a springer front end online.
Right after I cut the wires of the rear blinkers and removed the fender, I started thinking: did I took to big of a bite here?
Any way, now im on my way to it… so if anyone has any pics that are similar to mutley’s or any ideas, please help out… thanks.

I did the shop on my bob, cutting the rear fender struts at their base, the result for me was very nice

Brace yourself for a ton of questions on how you did the right front brake (dual front discs) .... I am guessing VROD take-off fork legs ...?

Cool bike ...
