Thanks again guys, Citoriplus, as always you are a wealth of information.
JRK5892, that is the best looking Street Bob I've seen. The color and wheels look sharp.

Any reccomendations on installing the bushings without removing the fork tins on my fatboy. Removing the tins will require removing the turnsignals on the front and that is just a pain.

if you can access behind them you should be fine, i know my dads heritage has access plates that can be removed on the back with 3 or 4 screws and then i use ratcheting wrenches to tighten his bars and what not... should be the same for you... the last fatboy i built for my uncle we removed the fork covers, sorry i am not much help... thanks for the props on my bike!
