Default FL Dyna

Has anyone ever converted a Dyna to an FL type ride? If you look on the Chubby Wild 1 handlebar site, look at the DWG in the 518 pictures. It has the big tires, fenders etc. Had a real nostalgic Duo Glide FL look to it.
Just wondering. Gotta be different.

I'v seen it done. Don't like it. The proportions are wrong. Looks like an FL that's been squished.

The whole thing looks strange, it is not very well porportioned. If you want a Fatty, just buy one, but that's just my free opinion. I think some FL-style mods on a Dyna look pretty good but a full fledged makeover, just not to my taste. My Superglide will be getting a Road King rear fender and light put on it this winter, but it'll still be no mistaking it for anything but a Superglide when I'm done. I like the look of the FXD and that's why I bought it.

I don't think it looks squished. It shouldn't look anymore squished than having an FL front end on a softail. A lowrider and fatboy (both with 32 degree rakes) only vary in wheelbase by less than 2 mm.

i can't understand why hd doesn't have a dyna with the FL front end. I love the looks of those old bikes. It would be nice to be able to get the big front end without having to get a sloptail or bagger.
I've got a picture of a lowrider with a fatboy frontend somewhere I'll try to find it.
