I find myself building my fat Bob toward the club style with t bars and leaning any mods toward function over form. But as of late part of me leans toward picking up a Memphis shades fairing and a set of bags and have a quick change touring bike for the weekend trips

My Street Bob is all function over form, leaning towards the sports side if that's really possible with a 600 pound bike.

Dude, your bike is one BADASS outlier! (And one of my favorite Dynas on the forum.)

Thank you for the kudos. Now that the Fat Glide is done... We'll machines are never really done because this coming year I plan on building a 427SBC for the '56 to take it to another level.
I see so many FXRs on this site done up as bad *** Cafe replicas it makes me miss my old XLCR. To that end I think my next bike project is going to FXR/XLCR themed bad *** build. Engine will be either a HD 120R or an S&S X-Wedge 132 backed by a 7 speed gear box. Not sure on the frame but I do know I will use a set of Buell inverted forks. The bodywork will replicate the XLCR. This will be a Bad *** street Hot Rod, plain and simple built to put on miles...quickly.

Im 6'7 and ride 160 km a day from mountain roads to highways to freeways then finally City traffic.

I wanted a short wheelbase so it's nimble enough but seat bar and peg dimensions that allow me to stretch out.

I find I can lane split better with apes than on any previous bike I've owned.

The legends also give me adjustability for all road types.

Cheers it does the job. 42,000 and going strong.

It's a mustang wide tripper with diamond stitching. I'm thinking of trying a le pera bare bones though.

I love the mustang but I ride in all weather and the seat acts like a sponge in the rain.
