Another Street Bob to Dyna Bagger conversion.

Here some facts of my Bike:
-2007 Dyna Street Bob
-23” front 18” rear
-Arnott air-ride
-front air-ride (in process, probably in about two weeks I’ll update this)
-4” Tommy&Sons Saddlebags
-Rear fender ala Bad-Dad style
-Wide Glide Triple tree
-Santee mid Ape-hanger
-New exhaust system V&H big radius 2-2 (I’ll update the pics in a few days)
-self made double seat

I was struggling a lot with the bracket system for the saddlebags but I think finally I found a solution (thx to a great member in this forum ;-) ).
Main problem that I had was that the bike wasn’t level to the ground so I had to “simulate” the Front-Air ride system and I slided the fork tubes further into the triple trees. The front air system will be extended approx. 2.5”-3” So I would have enough clearance between the front fender and the lower triple tree.
Once the bike was level I have started to mount first of all the fender in order to see the shape and the angle of the tail of the fender. In combination to that I figured out the vertical position of the saddlebags watching from the front and from the side view (that was horrible!). I took me a few hours between deciding the minimum height. I decided to mount the bags with a little bit of angle (side view) so it always keeps the bike a bit longer and gives it a lil bit of that “lowrider-look”

Next steps will be mounting the Road Glide fairing with the compressor for the front system in the inside of the fairing and see what happens ;-) the winter just began and I’ll do the work “Poquito a Poco” that’s how we say it here in Spain :-D I hope you’ll like it and I’m always happy to receive your feedback and probably some kick’n a$$ ideas from you guys ;-)

Cheers & saludos, Tommy
