Default Project almost done

This is the first Dyna I've owned, 2003 FXDL, bought it wrecked from a friend and set myself the goal of finishing it with a very low budget. Its almost done, what do you guys think?

40 days ago

Not a big fan of the headlight position, but everything else looks great!
Is it running? Has the performance been affected by cutting off the end of the Thunderheader exhaust?

Runs great!

Other than the bike now being VERY loud and quite a bit of backfire on deceleration, no noticeable performance change.

Oh, it is EXTREMELY low, I scrape the frame everywhere (our terrible streets don't help at all).

I really like the look! I had a 2001 Lowrider and hated the headlight visor with the built in indicator lights.
On a side note, looks like you might have a front wheel that has the capability of running dual front discs....that would be a relatively easy\cheap upgrade!
