Default my new project
Just picked up a 2000 softail standard. It has nice paint with metal flake, looks like a fatboy rear fender, and a custom front fender. Not sure what i'm going to do with it yet. Still looking for insperation..here are some pic of how I brought it home, without bags, then with fatboy solo seat.

Nice looking bike. If you're open to suggestions.

Step 1 - cut all those damn tassles off and never look back, lol

thanks Pottsy..open to all suggestions, including a name for it. If I decide to loose the custom front fender I am thinking about doing something like this one in the pic. think i'm gonna lower the rear first and get rid of the bag supports and see what it looks like from there.

Good looking bike, but I have to agree with the others about the seat fringe.
