Default Newbie needing help....

Ok Guys/Gals....
Im about as "green" as can be too customizing a Harley so I've decided to turn here for some help and possible adivce.
Last August I bought a '14 FXDWG.
I've put a few "Bells and whistles" on it already. Now I want to redo the front end. I've found a pic of a bike I want to use as a template for my front end. (Pic attached). The issue is, I'm having a hard time locating the parts or finding who makes them. The attached pic of the bike with the flames is the bike Im using as a front end template. I'm looking for the makers or names of the the ....

Lower fork covers
Triple trees
Headlight
Marker Lights
Handle bars.

Hopefully you Guys/Gals can steer me in the right direction.
Any and all help will be greatly apprecieated.
Ive also attached a pic of my bike as it sits.
Thanks in advance to any and all help/advice.

Might have been better off just buying a Wide Glide, which is what that is.

If you want those parts, I'd suggest going to one of the sites that has the parts microfiche on line.

http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche.....asp?make=hdmc

Plenty of places make wrapped fenders. Klock Werks, etc.

Right! Missed that, sorry.

Cam chest and rocker boxes look like performance machine or roland sands, exhaust is V&H big shots staggered.

Wheels look like PM Rival - http://www.performancemachine.com/mo.../finishes.aspx

The triple trees and lower forks were probably just powder coated black.

Yep, just take apart your front end and have anything you want to be black powder coated. Simple.
