3 wire front signal from a 2000 sporster
Red lens put on it with trim ring so its running red at all times
Going to cut the fender length shorter so the end of rear fender sits directly above the axle location.
Will cut the fender shorter and go with small battery and relocate wires so seat sits flat on frame. Seat will also mount to the fender so it will be set farther back on frame than the stock seat location. This will also make the bike look longer

when you find the manufacturer of choice see about weight ratings. Those older bikes weigh much less than the newer bikes. With a 2" shorter travel i think it may bottom out more readily. Not calling you fat! Hahaha

Made a big mistake on the tires. I love the look of the vintage tread. But it rides like ****. Literally feels like bike wants to lowside under any turning. Tracks every line in tge road and makes me second guess every input in the bars. Will be unfortunately changing out to something more modern....
5" rear ribbed fender put on tire for ideads of fender placement
Wassle 2.1 gallon tank. Its just a mock up but i fo like the lines of it.
Might swap the bars but the lines of the bike are sorta there. If you squint hard enough it looks good
Going to run a panhead/shovelhead handlebar clamp
