Default Fatboy-Dyna

I have a superglide and just wasn't happy with the front end. I love the ride of the Dynas much more than the softails. So I decided to make my own Fatboy Dyna. I used an inverted front end with a PM wheel and PM brakes. The wheel is wrapped in 120 Avon rubber. The front fender is off an '03 Fatboy so it would match my '03 Dyna. I just got the forward controls today and am in the process of installing them. I can't figure out how to post a picture here but here is a link to a picture of it in the photo gallery area. Let me know what you think. http://www.harleydavidsonforums.com/...Type=6&apage=1

Nice job, mate. I don't particularly care for the Fat Boy forks and headlight, so I really like the way you've modified the Dyna. Did you change the tank? Looks like a different console.

The tank is stock. It's a superglide so the spedo is not on the tank. Someday I'll get a new tank with a smooth top. Thanks for the kind words guys.
