go with adjustable rear suspension, lower for looks and raise based on road conditions.

I think the shorty front fenders look better.

I know the history etc of the fatboy styling etc but and the same time wanted something different so thsts where I stand on the wheels. Someone hurry up and make a fat 21 solid and I'll change it back.
DGD customs do a 23 solid replica but I don't want a 23 and they don't seem interested in making a 21 for those that don't want a 23.

I really don't understand how people get so bent out of shape over wheel change on someone eles bike anyway.



what bars are those?

As for the seat - no, I’m 6’2 and I get cramped up pretty quickly. I have had some body mods myself and my spine /hip mods may be the issue.
