What do you think about running a support from the mounting bolts up to the head unit to help support it? That would put the weight of the head unit on the front end and not the fiberglass.

You're in the wrong forum. Once you started bolting crap like that on a Dyna, you need to go to the "Touring Models" forum. Next thing you'll be doing is buying a trailer.

figured i would share some of the progress... before the whole metal in the eye run around

cut the stereo hole out to allow for the splash guard


mounted


3.5 in DVD and video screen


shot of the back with the amp mounted


now... this is alot of weight for a fiberglass fairing... so went into the shop and Tim and myself fabbed up a cafe to suppor the weight though the main supports of the fairing

so cut some brackets


brackets gettign tacked up


Tim doing his thing




cage built


then moved on to the main supports needed some extra material added for the backet i came up with... Tim is amazign with stainless so he had at it












Then moved my attention on to the saddle bags...
had to make some spacers to move the speaker a bit off the bag wall so i can make a grill for them


spacers made




also eliminated the hook lock feature and made it more modern... added hinges to the front... these where later welded up so theya re good and solid


the night ended with a oven full of brackets all coated and ready for install... by the time i got home from the shop it was 3am and pouring so ill get some pics of the finished product up later

ooh ya bags are ready for primer as well
