Holiday projects
Got the 48 up on a new J&S jack and chopped off the rear struts. Projects for this week/weekend include installation of the Easyrider bobber fender, figure machine license plate mount, and 180 tire conversion (on 17 x 4.5 dyna wheel).

Looking short and stubby! Nice.
Damn that's always nice when your family knows you well enough to buy you bike parts for Christmas!

180 rear update
Test fitted the new wheel/tire... Left pictures are before and right ones are after:
All buttoned up:
Belt clearance:
I'm using button head stainless steel 5/16-18 x 2 1/2 bolts to attach the fender to the rear struts. As you can see, there will be plenty of room under the fender for the tire to clear the bolts. The rear turn signals have the same thread so I'll be attaching the turn signals to the threaded end of these bolts on the outside of the struts.

That fender/wheel combo looks great!
Good choice on the Figure Machine side plate too. Their stuff is really good and priced more reasonably than the RSD or PM stuff.
My holiday project has me prepping for a cafe conversion.
The bike started as a brand new 2015 Iron when I brought it home 12 days ago.
Soon became this:
And now has the struts cut for the new tail section.
I still have to wait a couple weeks for parts.
