If I may, I wanted to follow up with another observation. Like I said earlier..... the bike is cool as can be. When I took a closer look at the detail in the paint something struck me. Decades ago custom engraving of the chrome parts was quite the rage on show bikes. Especially in the 70's. And for some reason your bike seems to remind me of bikes that looked spectacular if some of the chrome had custom engraving. I don't really know why and I'm not suggesting you run out and dump a pile of your cash on engraving. I just wanted to share an observation I had while I sit at home, waiting for my project to start back up so I can get back to work.

Seriously, you have in mind what effect I was going for though! I have seen enough flames and skeletons to last me a lifetime, and I didn't want to do a PINK bike. So, while it is pretty feminine, it has really tough touches and different from any others, exactly what I wanted.. kinda like leather and lace! LOL!

It takes a lot of looking to soak in everything if you don't have a stock Dyna beside it. Some of the things she has added are:
Custom paint by Inferno Airbrushing
Chrome swingarm, wheels, sprocket, forks, trees, and calipers
Hill Country Customs 1-1/4" dia 12" apes
Billet headlight to replace sportster looking light.
Custom Rotors I made to match her wheels
Braided cables
Welded all extra holes in fender since it stays solo
Used the turn signals from a street glide on it to replace turnsignals that were on fender struts
Kuryakyn forward controls
Kuryakyn turn signal mirrors to elimate front turn signals
Harley Diamond Ice collection
Brawler Solo seat
Chrome controls and caps
Changed guage color to purple to match purple led lights that are going on bike this weekend.
Bright *** lights taillight
Sumax Hugger front fender
Custom tag frame that I made1
Vance and Hines Big Radius exhaust
Removed rear passenger pegs
In process of making custom shifter linkage to match theme
Lots more stuff I can't think of yet
Currently looking for flush mount gas caps that will fit an 05 to put on here.
