Default My vision of the perfect Low Rider-S

Ok, so now I'm just daydreaming.

I really like the new FXDL-S, except for the gold wheels and the fact that it's a bit too black for me. So a little photoshop and this is what I've come up with.

Before:




After:



Silver the wheels, sliver the fork lower and a little chrome on the pipe really evens it out in my opinion. It even makes the bobbed fender look a little better I think. This and a 117 SE motor and it's my perfect Dyna...

You forgot to remove the damn reflectors!
Actually that is a good look and it wouldn't take a lot to get there. I might even keep the lowers black.

LOL! indeed. That was the first thing that came off my FXDL. And you are right, looking at it the lowers might do well in black with the silver wheels.

Edit: Here you go Nevil. Back in black and no reflectors!

Instead of silver wheels medium gray to charcoal would be sharp.

Hells bells, it's got highlighted fins on the cylinders, isn't that enough for you anti-black folks

Well close to the perfect Dyna... Now put in a new motor mount, and a couple of your other favorite mods...

I see what's going on here, you're considering it again aren't you?

What it boils down to HD just need to get T-sport back with 117" engine and two-into-one and improved motor mounts and better crank
