rebuild ideas!

Just laid down my 02 fxst, and now get to rebuild. The entire front end will need to be replaced. I have always liked the springer look. I was also flirting with the idea of blacking the whole thing out. I'm very open to suggestions and inspirations so lets see some ideas!

I love the look of a springer but, to me, they are just to heavy feeling at slow speed.

good health....

Tough break on the bike but am glad hear your ok...... not a bad time to upgrade to an fl front end, the handling and brakeing would be an improvement.
