What does that add to this thread? It's not a Wideglide and it's a SOA bike...Pretty much the complete opposite of what the OP asked...

OP: I'm guessing you think a Wide Glide won't look 'thug' enough because they all come with forwards and short apes.
If that's the case, there's no need to worry. You'll get plenty of 'Billy Bada$$' props and none of the 'SOA wannabe' crap.
FYI: That SOA bike likely started out as a Dyna Sport, lowered out back with pull backs and drag bars.
Here's my '99 Dyna Sport back before SOA and everyone thought they were so 'thug'. Put many miles on that bike - wish I still had it.

Well, there is NO WAY Jax would ride your old bike with those saddlebags! He is more of a SG kinda thug.

That little screen is bad ***. Does it defect any wind?

It actually deflected more than it looks like it could. I didn't like the look of the 'Sport" screen the bike came with - the guy that bought it from me sure did. He wanted me to put it back on. I just handed it to him and said "it's all yours now, do whatever you want".

I'm with ya....that little pi$$ant never rides any farther than the edge of town. Who needs bags for that?
I still watch though, which is more than I can say for the Laughing Devils (aka Sniveling Sissies).

It's a National Cycle Fly Screen. I have one on my Sporty. Keeps the wind off your chest at freeway speed so you aren't being pushed back, but still
get "wind in your hair"...or in my case "skin"...
