That's the first fld I've seen with different wheels. Very cool.
What size is that front, it looks bigger.
The mod mojo is proliferating bigtime. I can only imagine where we will all be a year from now. I love it.

Well the vibes are gone now, didn't really get to ride much last night I am a busy guy sometimes, the S n S a/c is just that. Ran it on my 06 st bob, and took it off for this ride.

Bike looks great!
I notice something today to never cought my eye before on some of the Switchbacks out there. Are those detach points above the rear struts? Sorry to get side tracked here!

Well that's a nice touch anyway. It reminds me of a guy I use to ride with back in the 70s. He had an early 70s Super Glide that was stroked out to 93CI and that was huge back then. Anyway, that bike was fast and it had an S & S carb. Too bad he went to prison for UPSing his wife a bomb.

The pipes do make a world of difference in the looks
of your FLD, nice improvement.
The black primary cover works for me also.
I have one ready to install with a black derby cover to match.
Photoshop version.

Yes, they are HD's optional quick release plates and docking points for the sissy bar and other things like racks, etc.

Four great exemplars of the FLD ...
... one each of some lower handlebars and some taller apes ... I like the color matched battery and fuse cover of numismaddict ... some 'drag pipes' ... I think of these, my favorite looking pipes are the curvy two-into-one Bassani (I think) on FB's ...
... really sharp wheels on Dynaunder's ... also, nice sleek looking seat ...
... great work, all ...
