Default Need some opinions

I was riding home from work this morning, and positioned my feet at the front of my floorboards, sort of where forward controls would be. I was thinking that I would like to put some on it. I know that I would probably have to ditch my crash bar, and my positioning would be very limited with forward controls. The only thing is, with the direction I am taking would it look stupid?
I want to put a 21" fat daddy spoke wheel on the front, and get some true dual samsons that stick out behind the bike with fishtails. I will have a solo seat, probably a badlander or something similar. When I can find someone to fabricate the devils tail sissy bar I designed (chrome of course), I will have it on there. As you can see, I have already put 18" apes on it. I just cannot for the life of me picture what the bike would look like.
If anyone has pics of a similar bike that would be great!

GO FOR IT!!!!

It sounds like the set up would look sick....I just couldn't go without my floorboards.....If you dont like it, you can always change it back or go another way....

Love the apes

Thanks man, I just realized I am going to have to ditch those lollipop turn signals on the rear. I didnt notice how odd they look without the bags on.

yep, that's at the end of my list. I have to first order my 13" gangsta apes and then go from there.
