When I first saw the switch back I was unimpressed but this one looks so good! Good work!

SICK ride! Definitely has a retro FLH feel. I have the same wheel set (19F/17R) but in chrome sitting to be installed. Were spacers required for both front and rear wheels? Any detail would be much appreciated.

Rear fits fine, front required spacers, the dealer made them.

A couple of new mods.

Blacked out engine parts and lowered the front an inch.

Looking great. Any chance of posting a side or quarter view pic with the bags installed?
What's the difference in the ride for you, between the OEM and ape bars?
