Default Evo Softail springer chopper/bobber build

Hey there, Dom here, french canadian so dont freak out if my english is wrong sometimes.

Made the brackets for the rear fender

Sorted out the front fender's height, actually used the ''new springer'' kind of engineering

Now it goes up and down at the same rate as the wheel and it's a lot lower than before hehe

Also trimmed the rear fender, still need to cut and sand the front one and it's all ready for paint

Fully rebuild with new bearings, seals, gaskets, blasted and powdercoated

Powdercoated/re-assembled the front end and rebuilt the trans yesterday to fit with the engine

Fenders and gas tank are at the painter's
