You read my mind.
I saw a pic at this site
www.harleydavidsonandthemarlboroman.com/

A fan site of that movie and a bunch of guys there are trying to make the Black Death Bike.
there was a pic of a softail that the guy had just pulled the whole rear off with just a solo seat. Looks cool but I'd leave part of the fender struts and just move my turn sigs forward.
Truth be told the bike in the movie is the reason I liked the look for Night trains so much.

Hey Jester

I think those pipes are big radius from Vance & Hines.
Cool looking bike you're right.
