Default My latest Mod on my Deluxe and need feedback (Pictures)

I did this mod tonight on my Deluxe, What do you think? Be brutal and honest if need be, I need feed back. If it looks tacky or crappy let me know. I mounted it more forward than the instructions said, because to me it looked better in the center of the fender. They are called Front fender stanchions, Harley part# 91117-97. I placed the emblem in the center on about a month ago Harley part#91195-04. How does it look to you guys??? I have not seen these on many bikes and thought it looked nostalgic. I had to drill holes to mount these (The Stancions) so they are permanent. I measured and trail fitted a hundred times to get them even before I drilled the fender out.

I will say it looks like U did a nice job and I am chrome *****. Honestly, it might grow on me but with just these pics, I am not feeling it, something just seem out of place. Looking at them again I think its the ball ends and center. Think they look more rear end-ist that front end rails.
Isn't there a wrap around front fender guard that one could add on. With another add on they might pull out an even better look together. or maybe not...????

just looked again, do U have that round ball that the rails goes into look anywhere else on U bike, is so the flow of the whole bike might look better in daylight than just pics of the front fender only....

Honestly, I'm not sure what I think. It's hard to tell from the pics. Some daylight pics might help me decide.

Right now I can't say I like them or dislike them, more of a 'meh' opinion. I will say they probably look better on the two-tone with white than it would on my bike.

After you done drilled holes in your fender I don't think I have the heart to tell you they suck big time.

Actually, it's too soon to tell. Like you said you don't see many (any) with that setup. I think it's one of those things that takes a while getting used but then you love it.

It's Chrome so how can you go wrong.
