Default FLS Slim w 21"

Finally got my Dyna exactly how I wanted it, and then sold it. Have a Slim now and getting around to changing it up to.

Changed out the rear section, and latest change is the 21" up front and front fork lowered to compensate. Had to put on a different caliper to account for my cheap *** buying a tire with hub that was too wide.

Changing the headlight and adding a fork brace tomorrow.

I loved my Dyna, but this bike handles like a dream. Haven't noticed a difference in that since adding the 21" but time will tell.

Changed the headlight last night, and added the fork brace. Had to raise the mounts because the brace wouldn't fit (even though it says it does fit a 21").

Here's fresh pics.

are you going to black out the front wheel to match the rear?

How did you lower the front? I'm putting a 23 on my Fatboy Lo and was going to be lowering the front 2in with springs. But now I think I might need -2 forks also. And could that fork brace be modded to fit a 23 do you think
