No where near as silly as silver grommets on the saddlebags, what happened, lose your horse?

all the money spent for a pieced together looking thing? i dont think for the $17500 spent to date that it looks so bad for something that can go from this to stripped in less than 10 minutes, lets see you do that with a ultra or road glide at 25k plus
furthermore you prove my point, that if you had half a brain you would be dangerous but then again i guess that's why you ride a softail yet hang out in the dyna section...

Those who haven't ridden a Dyna just will never get it.
2011 Deluxe, sorry dude but unless you've done a gammit of long tours, twisties, and much on a Dyna and a Dresser, you are clueless about what the OP has accomplished and why. Enjoy your Softtail, it likely suits your riding style.

Yeah, no biggie though. Had to merely grind off about 1/16th from the outside bottom corners of the cap. Otherwise it worked fine with the stock risers.

I don't think there are too many really modded switchbacks...
Here is mine so far, I say so far because I still have a ton more to do:
21" front wheels ( on the way)
Lowered front end
Arnott air ride and blocks so I can drag the ***
Gloss black out all of the chrome
I would LOVE to have stretched bags but no one makes them, does anyone know some who stretched the factory bags?
