Not a good one, close up (I'm at work. shhhh!). Besides I don't want to get too close of a picture, it is homemade after all.

Thanks Dude.

It's a 6" flat, fender, stock tire size.

I'm not a big budget builder, I just try building stuff, then I pull it off and try other stuff. Maybe one day I'll dive in a little deeper and do something cool like you're doing

Well, I don't know about cool, but it's an itch I just had to scratch. One of my good buddies told me something about this little project of mine: "It'll never be finished, you'll be changing things for years." I think he's right, I'm already planning next winter, hahaha! Either way, I love this stuff, so it works for me. Maybe that's why I was drawn to the Sportster; the possibilities seem endless

Hmm, in order to further reduce the amount of wiring clutter on my bike, I was considering swapping out the ICM for an earlier (03 or earlier) ignition module. I've heard rumblings of people doing this, anyone here have experience with it? I've done a few searches to no avail.

If I could eliminate the ICM box, it would really help to clean up my bike.

What will the new fender look like?

On your wheel adjuster is the locking nut no where near to lock the screw?
