I have contemplated this exact idea, never heard of anybody actually doing it yet. Looks great and you still have full suspension travel. Think it would work on a stock bobtail fender? (i smell a winter project. lol)

Bike looks great!!

May want to consider a battery tender to keep the battery on when not in use. I have one on my bike that way I know the battery is always charged before every ride.

6 years out of the stock battery is great.

I would go with a solo seat or badlander type; I like the look that you are sitting in the seat instead of on the seat and a higher front end with the rear lowered looks great to me, but this is just my taste.

It's a Harley so you can't go wrong no matter what you do!!!!

i lowered the rear alittle more tonight, it's about as low as it can go now. but it has the stock 16" tire so it doesn't fill out the fender as well as you guys out there with 18" wheels

Now your talken!!!! Rear end look a billion times better now than last pics. Take it for a ride and hit some bumps. If you bottom out tighten them up with your spanner wrench...Looks good man.
