New Fat Bob....
Been eyeing a Fat Bob, 103, a long distance seat, luggage rack, sissy bar, 14" slighty smoked Windvest windshield, heated hand grips, Desert Dawgs rain guards, some LED lighting, oil temperature gauge. improved air intake of some sort, a more visible tail light Harley Mo Co derby, and wheel nut covers. Last a retro style tank badge. Very thick Ultra, red spark plug wires.

Arlen Ness makes a nice stage one. change the ppipes, go sans reflectors, air cleaner, depending on where you live, oil cooler would be a smart buy as well. south texas plays hell on an air cooled motor

I got two Dyna fenders off of eBay.
I cut one down the center & bolted each half to the frame struts. From the other I cut a 3” wide strip from the center, saddled it over the halves & tack welded it in place. The assembly was removed and more welds were added and ‘knocked down’ with a sander. The seams were covered with fiber-glass and smoothed out with bondo.
The fender was then test fitted to the bike. A scissors jack was used to replicate a 2” drop which revealed that the front & bottom parts of the fender had to be trimmed to clear the swing arm, master cylinder & upper belt guard. The bike currently rides on 1.75" lowering blocks with the fork tubes slid up the trees 1".
