Still have some work and buffing to do. I was lucky enough to find a shovelhead fairing on eBay. I used police hardbags that I took the ***** off and obviously relocated the battery. Had to build spacers so the bags would clear the widened fender. I like the wide look. May even get some Fat *** bags for it and make it 4" wider. I used some black curved exhaust shrouds to make spacers between the bags and fender. I got rid of the 'Live to ride' stuff. The seat is off a RK but too big for my taste, going to replace it with something smaller soon. I ordered a mustang solo seat but had to send it back because I could not get it to line up with the two holes on the fender. I have some Black deep cut floorboards coming to match the Arlen Ness Gas tank dash. Tank Emblems I found from I believe a shovelhead, still had the backing on them. The tank came off a 2002 ElectraGlide. When winter hits I will do a complete tear down including motor and make it look like new again. Just wanted to get some miles on it first and see if I liked the look. Smoothed out the rear end and put on LED turn,tail,brake lights. Vance and Hines Pipes off a newer model. Still have to paint the front fender and side panels, but debating on a larger wheel first. White walls GOTTA GO. So, she is a Frankenstein bike for sure, but I have had a blast cheating on my wife with my bike. I named her Lily, after the bride of Frankenstein. Thanks to all of you for your tips do tricks. (I live on a dirt road so ignore the dust on her)
I don't know, look's pretty good to me. After all your bringing a thirty year old bike back to a newer look. I too like the white wall look gives it that I am still here to it. If you got to cheat Lilly is the one to do it with. She won't tell.
I got the LEDs on eBay. Going with some Custom Dynamics Plasma Tubes though. The LEDs have been problematic and already had to replace them. Chinese junk.
