Thanks! It's been a fun project. I can always find something to add or modify.

Yeah, I am a fan of the "less is more" look for Dynas, but I know there is a benifit to bags etc. I have the quick disconnect HD sissy bar with a luggage rack, so I can have that on with a rear seat in 5 minutes and I have 2 soft bags to put stuff in on the rack. Most of the time I stay solo seat and I just got a HD backpack on Ebay. For a windshield, I have the Windvest, but it really is a bit too small for avoiding wind buffet.
I do like the Dyna in the "less is more" look, but I've had lots of fun building my Dyna touring bike. The great thing about most of the "bagger" items, is they are quick disconnect.

I took off the saddlebags, engine guard, fairing, replaced the fatboy headlight back to the stock stock dyna headlight, and removed the front fork boots.

Great day for a ride! Rode to Washington DC to watch Rolling Thunder. About 400 miles total. I try to do this event every year. Thought id share a couple of the pictures. Thank you to all my fellow veterans for your service!

Happy Fathers Day!

Got my new seat (Mustang Tripper Solo). Ive had one of these before. Great seats! Also got my Licks solo bag in. Really like the bag and the way it looks on the bike. As others have said, the bag is a good size but the opening is a little small. It works for what I need.

Thanks! I'm still looking into getting the speedo/tach. I missed out on the local Harley's 25% Father's Day sale. Hopefully there will be another sale like that soon. What's planned next on your build?

A little tired after the Andrews 30T I just finished, but leaning towards getting the PowerVision Pro upgrade with the wideband O2 sensors.
