Very nice!

Love the look of those mammoth/fat spoke wheels. Using a mammoth/fat spoke 21" front and a solid disc 17" chrome rear is on my short list when I do my wheels on my Wide Glide.

You ride looks fantastic, enjoy that beautiful Florida weather; the chamber of commerce days are upon you...

Got the Magnum shielding Black Pearl clutch cable installed. It’s nice. The pics don’t do it justice. And the black adjusting hardware is a nice touch. The +8 will be perfect for the new bars








Took the rear end apart so I can wire in my Custom Dynamics all in one license plate bracket and Alloy Art strut lights. I’m also going to powder coat the shock mount. Will also reinstall my QD docking system.




Next up, I reinstalled my JW Speaker adaptive headlight.




Last for today was installing the Oberon Airo adjustable levers.









Going to order a 58mm Horsepower Inc. 58mm throttle body and some other engine goodies soon. Then we’ll be taking mine and another bike to HPI for some of their dyno tune love.

Took mine apart to paint. Why have an fxdls that looks like all the rest. Made a makeshift paint booth in my storage building behind the house. Not quite big enough to paint everything at once but it'll do.

Nice! What are you planning paint wise? I’m going to have mine painted, but have zero ability when it comes to painting/anything artistic. So I’m going to send my tins to Scott Takes at Underground Art Studio for some of his magic.

Post pics when you’re done please.

Actually this is only my second time painting. I like to try my hand at everything. The color is a custom mix blue similar to a Subaru color a few years ago. Gotta metallic and depth. Hears to hoping it comes as well as my test fender.

There's some sik bikes in this thread, some you guys with your Italian forks and fat spoked and levers and such, I'm always amazed at some of the creativity in this Dyna forum...it's inspiring I tell you.

Today I gave her a nice deserved bath, polished it up a little and cleaned the wheels. The finish on my spokes is pretty much turning to **it, living on the coast is hard on them but stainless spokes are on my list.







Last weekend I was at the HD swap meet at Long Beach Veterans Stadium and the guys from Moon were there and they are selling their Day Maker knock off for 120.00 (show price), might be 130.00 on the site not sure but they are very confident in their product they are selling a ton of them and they have a lifetime guarantee. I plan on getting one here pretty soon myself.

I believe that my '11 FXDC came with stainless spokes as OEM, and they still corroded, and looked really bad after a while. You may have stainless already. Might want to investigate before spending $$$$... tp

Took the windshield, oil cooler, ventilator breather and bottle opener off today. The 15 vivid black Fat Bob (aka Bubba) is going to be traded in on a 18 vivid black Fat Bob S.

Only the bottle opener(61 years of riding has taught me what tools are needed on a bike) will go on the 18 but the other stuff will go on some of the other bikes.

A Fat Bob is a Fat Bob regardless of where and how many shocks there are. I will look into the recently released 124" kit for the 114. It is due to come in soon so I got ready.
