Default Chopped and Raked Dyna

I finally got my frame back ready to put together.
What I've done is strip my 06fxdb down to bare frame, I've got a shop to cut off the existing neck, machine the frame then reattach the neck. Nothing major just 35 degrees which with the wideglide trees will make 37 degrees.
I've also done a few other things while its all apart, paint tins, 200 rear, bit of powdercoating and a few maintainance stuff.
Heres a picture of the beautiful welding on the neck, he managed to weld all of the joins on the inside too. I'll post a few more as I get it back together

What did you have to do for the 200 rear. Did you have to cut the fender struts off or just modify them like the neck?

Everyone says it fits so I'm takin their word for it, I organised it all while the frame was in the shop so I havent even been able to mock it up yet, what I have done is change the strut bolts and sort the wiring out so I can leave the flashers in the same spot and run the wiring in the outer strut cover. I just used a stock hub and laced it to an 18 x 5.75 rim, also got a pulley spacer from vulcan engineering

Default Welding

Your welder did a great job on the neck...very uniform and looks like that stack of dimes. Welding it on the inside is over the top and a sign of great work. Keep us posted.
