Thanks guys. The late 60s early 70s is the era that speaks to me the most bike wise. That's what I was going for, all in all its been 7 years on that dyna. Paint I did myself. I'm gonna go without a front fender, just side to the side a bit when it rains... I'm going,to leave the fork boots short I like the look with tubes showing. And upstate ny is one of the nicest parts in the US.

I need to have my original to the bike seat recovered cause it fit perfectly... This was my cheap replacement. But I agree, although my back likes it.

The mounting bases on the market are pretty limiting. To go to a rigid solo pan on a Dyna you almost have to go full custom. It's quite a commitment. Seems like there should be a good sized niche there for a company to offer a truly low profile solo mount.

I'd grown very weary of the '103' derby cover, started stalking eBay for a classic chrome #60766-06 to match my classic chrome timing cover. Scored a classic chrome derby cover new in the box for less than half of HD's asking price, delivered this afternoon.

Keep ticking that clock backward; gratuitous image is gratuitous

Nice. I like the simple covers too.

Oh, you need to make a simple little black cover for the back of your plate mount.

I'll post some more when I get a chance. It really doesn't handle as different as I thought it would. And if you go +4s make sure you have a plan for the kickstand. I'm making 2 aluminium spacers to get the bungking block tall enough. Probably going to weld an extension in over next winter.

I can't remember what they're called but I love the 'old-style' seat that is thin and curves right up the 'sissy bar'...b.
