Default Softail standard old school transformation

I have always wanted my 06' standard to have an old school look, starting with new tins painted and I mounted a custom rear fender on. Pics to follow as progress is made. Should have done all this in the winter, tough not ridin as bike is in pieces. I guess I can't upload pics on my mobile phone?

Apparently you did not read the forum rules when signing up. Harsh penalties are to be paid for modifying or customizing your motorcycle without posting up photos and progress pictures. Especially when your right in the middle of said progress. The moderators may let it slide this one time, but in the future I suggest you be more careful.

It's a fender from a Heritage. Actually they both are, had them painted locally and bolted them on, easy breesy.

Default Front fender

Was going to do a heritage front fender but I think the stock looks more subtle for the small front tire.
