Friends Fatboy. You will have to relocate the kickstand and extend the floor boards forward.

No friggin' way would I have a open primary with floorboards. Suck your pant leg in, and your minus one left foot.

He loves it. He's never mentioned anything about catching his pants.

That looks sweet without the cover. But I would be a little concerned about rocks and road debris getting in there and effing it up. I am not usually the one to worry about such things, but I think in this case I would slap a cover on. IMHO.
