yes, everything underneath the seat is the same. shouldn't be a problem
thanks

I'm not a Crossbones fan, but your bike turned my head and gave me an idea of what can be done with one

Whose handlebars are those??

like the new photos, can you let me know what precise 150 tyre you are using up front? Presumably no fitment problems on the stock rim or spacing issues or rubbing under load or over bumps etc?

I'm waiting on my fatboy rear fender to cut down after seeing your conversion. Where did you stick the ECM box ? Is the fatboy fender a straight swap once you have cut it to size? Do you have to cut down the struts or relocate the ECM or fabricate a new battery cover?

Advice much appreciated

That looks good. I also like the other Bones I saw with the 21 up front. The seat makes a big difference too. The Xbones has a lot of stuff to work with, especially the black Springer. But the basic style of the stock bike leaves a lot to be desired. This is one bike I dont like in stock form. Especially the tractor seat. Nice job.
