I am having fun...You know this is an internet forum right? I do like your bike but...I stand by the hammered dog crap thing. No way that would look even a little OK on a Wide Glide...The fairing is functional by the way...Blocks wind and such...

Have to agree with "themouth!!!". WG's need a 21" or bigger wheel up front to look proportional and keep the traditional look. A 19" just ain't gonna do it!
