Right now it's just sitting there, but it shouldn't be too hard to fabricate something. I'm waiting to see how the LePera looks before I do anything.

I like it too. Cool color - almost painted a Jeep TJ the same colors few years back. The rear fender really changes up the look over stock. Nice!

Nice that's cool. I've always want to a newer fatboy up similar but instead of big front just wider triple trees with wide as I could get rim and space out rotor. And then do rear wheel same size rim diameter two 19s or 18s by 200 or 210. Would have to do something with necell cut and widen it and maybe find an old teens or 20s huge headlight and reword it. I like that color. that rear fender sits nice. Enjoy

Exactly what I'm thinking. Been scouring Ebay for something like this to use as a headlight

With the exception of very old models, I'm not at all a fan of "stock" or "factory" so anything customized or one-off is appreciated.

Looks great. Nice color. I like the black and chrome mix. The rear fender. Look forward to your progress.

Same here. I don't do a lot of mechanical work, but I enjoy customizing bikes to give them a one off look. Here's a Honda Fury I did.

It's gratifying to make it your "own". And that don't mean a bunch of Kuryakan either!!!!!! LOL!
