Default Made some changes ready for spring now

Still had my original rear fender so I filled in the tail light and tag bracket holes. Added a Fat Boy front fender and lowered it so it's nice and snug on the tire. I used a trailer light converter and the reflectors from front signals to make my rear signals run stop turn and built a side mount for my plate. I used some left over paint and sprayed it a nice satin blue. It's not a perfect paint job but it'll work for me.

Looks nice, I like what you did with it.
What handlebars are you using, and are they comfortable cruising on long hauls?

... looks great Rick ... was wondering what you were up to ... saw the posts about smoothing the rear fender ... nice move with the Fat Boy front fender ...

... kind of a Fat Bob alter ego ...

The bars are off a Deluxe and they are comfortable, long days aren't a problem for me with them.

Nice bike!! I really like the simplicity of it and the clean lines to it. Take what you can put in your pockets and ride.
Before they came out with the Switchback I wanted to make my Superglide look like that but I probably couldn't have done a job like that.

Very nice! What is that FL front end? I really like the smooth rear fender, planning to do mine.

Looks good. Why did you ditch the FL rear fender?
