Great ideas folks
One thing has become really clear about switchback owners, they are really aggressive and open-minded in their pursuit to personalize their bikes. I'm loving the creativity being generated by everyone. Of course that's always been the dyna credo though, lol.
For me, I'm having a ball considering all the ways of making it better. One idea leads to others chiming in with their variations. Great collaboration going on. It will be interesting to see exactly what is actually developed and tried.

Yes, I think so too. none is just about done with it and it will give it a whole new but classic vibe, I believe.
You know, the more i look at that front fender and comparing with the flh and duo-glides, the more I'm determined to figure out what it needs. Chopping it works in my mind's eye but it may just blow the vibe I'm going for. The painter I talked with yesterday is willing to figure it out with me and perhaps the answer is trim afterall and not a chop, I dunno. I don't want to copy the duo-glide per se but I love that vibe while attempting to bring it to the 21st century, lol.
It's a fun quest.
