The rear fender is home made, but there are several kits for sale with the same look.

From: Virginia raised, stationed in Alaska
picked up mine a few weeks ago.
So far just fork bag and mirrors.
I have gloss back cam cover, trans cover and screamin eagle tuner at home.
Have D&D fat cat exhaust on the way, gloss black primary and rocker box cover, gloss black lower forks/sliders, and deciding on an air cleaner at the moment.
Eventually wanna get the shotgun shocks (probably when my rear tires run out)
Gonna max out the tire width under the stock fender but not wider than that.
LED headlights, and relocate the turn signals.
Came from a 07 street bob and glad i did.

Am doing similar, as today I've just done the deal on trading my 07 Dyna Superglide Custom for a brand new Slim.

So when you do this, where do you tuck the ECM?

Makes sense. Another question for you. Did you put something between the tire and the frame after removing that plastic deflector? Hard to tell from the pic but it looks like there may be something there. If you did, what is it?
