Thanks for all the input. Gotta love all the different opinions. I guess that's what makes this a good place. Of course, it's still a work in progress. I agree about the fender in that I need to swap the rear for the sake of symmetry or go back to the short until then.Too bad for me I'm so lazy. As far as the seat goes, I just couldn't take the stock tractor. To me it just looked like HD was trying too hard. I just haven't settled on the right look. Maybe an aftermarket bobber.
I had an 03 SportsterC before this bike and was sad to see it go but man I love this bike.

Oh yeah, the bars are BRCustoms. and my VH pipes are baffled. Next things up for sure are - swap to denim tins, round oil tank and 4" risers.

Is that a FXSTC (Softail Custom) seat on your bike?

The guys a Harley liked the cartoon so much they kept it on the 010s.

010s? What are we going to call that? Just "the 10s"? Wierd. That'll get some getting used to.

It is a retro king and queen and is awesome. I have a bad back and it allows me to ride for hours without stressing my back at all. I get off feeling just as fresh as I did when I got on. Just gotta remember to stop grinning from all the fun these damn bugs taste like crap.

C Numb The oil tank is sick looking now that would have been a perfect touch for Harley to have done. Pat yourself on the back for coming up with that one
