let see some more updates as the rest comes together. I'm interested in the new bars and "stash tube". Zombie makes some great bars. I'm going to have him make some "window" Z bars for my Fat Bob and something for my XS650 when I get there.

I have a 16" going on the rear which is currently being powered. And yes, it will have a white wall Avon tire to match the front. This is an ongoing build...

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Yes, putting a tank like that on a Dyna is far from easy - yet it is easy to dismiss without knowing what a pain in the *** it is.

Hey, anyone know if David Brack / Loner Industries is still around? He did some incredible A/C covers for me (including the one you see in my photo) and I need to place a good size order - yet I can't get him to reply to my emails.

Just A Few More Changes...

I reshaped the rear fender a bit and put on some 10" rear shocks from Lick's (they are made for Sporty's but have been on for over 500 miles now with no issue). My buddy did some letter work on my tank after I put 6 coats of clear on it. He put a jar of my 'Shine on the other side between my newly redone jockey / hand / tank shifter and my speedo. That is a 1942 Schlitz ceramic tap topper...
