Cool, I like the speedo setup and clean dash, maybe RSD will come up with a kit like the sporty to put clipon bars and make something super cool out of it.
Just not sure if the Softail notoriously bad rear suspension will lend itself to the cafe-racer look crowd.

That's a nice bike.The lines other than the tank filler are slick.at 15k they will sell these things.All sorts of possibilities with alot of the powder work done.For you guys that don't care for the motor colors you probably wouldn't have been riding Harleys 30 years ago.Might be number 4 in my garage.G.

Where are the tail lights?

Put some drag bars on it and it'll look real sweet

Looks like a deuce with a better rear fender.

Nah, I dont see where everyone is seeing a Deuce in it. It has a fatbob tank, not the crazy looking Deuce/Rocker tank. That bike is screaming for that fender to be cut a little shorter with a leather wrapped seat pan, a set of 12" apes, some white walls, and some short wrapped pipes and velocity stack. Take any of that chrome and hit it with some scotch bright. That bike would be sick "exiled".
