i like the open but i must say its not "harley" if you going to go open go 100% custom and build one from the frame up!

The open primary represents a minimalist look and should compliment your ride.

go for the open. I have a BDL in the garage just waiting to be put on. BrianP Ultima does NOT make an open primary for your bike. They dont make one for 200 series tire
