Just about got er done. I like the black wall on this build. Took it up and down the street height in front seemed okay so far-riding it with no seat-steering isn't as quick may have to get rid of crash bar up front for better steering.
Hopefully I can adapt the touring wheel I picked up in Livermore.

Got to find a windshield-I guess they make them for no aux light bar-closer brackets. think this style hardware with a shorter shield.


Opinions?

Man that looks good. Is that a kit for Sportsters now? I would call that a Fat Boy Jr.

HD has the Road King, people call the Switchback the "Road Queen" I say we call this one the "Jackster". Not really, but had to say it.

It would be nice if they made a kit-but part of the fun is massaging all the unrelated parts to make something unique. And I think Harley looks at these forums and uses our ideas-like the switchback-it came out well after the FL Dyna group had been established. I like FLX as the name.

Blueangel, Jacksters cool stays with the poker hand thing, maybe JacksWild, but I think when FLD's are customized tastefully (laced 16's, retro bags, etc.), they merit something like Road Ace cuz IMO they beat the king all to hell.
