Default 03 Deuce - need input plz

This is my '03 FrankenDeuce, and there are many Ideas I have for this and some needed info also. First thought is, where can I find new fenders and a tank for this beast? I have been scouring the web but there is so much junk to sift through making this task difficult. I need paint work next and I feel like I'm bashing my head into a wall because there are alot of items which say "except fxstd". I have had a bike before, but this is my first Harley/custom so I am learning by the seat of my pants pretty much.

Regarding what I want to do with this bike, I like hot rods, baggers, choppers, and numerous other design styles but I am finding it quite hard to decide on a direction. Please, any input would be very helpful.

Will post new Pics again either this week, or next week when it is finished.

Well, you are transforming a Deuce into a trike! First thought is, "Are you nucking futs?" But keep digging, you'll find something sooner or later. I did!

I donno with that trike try to find an extended tank. Trikes look bulkier and i think an extended tank would look good. For the front dependin on wheel size get a klockwerks tirehugging fender?

This won't be just any deuce trike though man, I'm leaning toward diesel punk/bagger something I haven't seen yet. I feel like this bike on two wheels is a thing of beauty but on 3 with a mean set up and paint this will be insane, currently working on my certs for fabrication
