motordrum,

like the bike, sort of have the same gig on my bike, but I have 6 inch risers on my forks supporting the broomsticks. Looks great.

They say it keeps the stability after you remove the front fender. Now I don't know if thats true, but I thought I would make some cause I think they look cool anyway. Thanks for the comments!

Great job on the bike man. I've got an '08 nightster myself & I've been looking for some ideas for the front end. I really dig the custom headlight bracket and the fork braces. Did you fab those yourself? If so, any interest in making another set for some $?

I did fab them myself. I would like to make more brackets and braces but I changed jobs, and thats where I made them. I no longer have everyday access
to a band saw, mill and powdercoater. Damn miss powdercoating the most...
Thanks for the comments!

p.s.
I got the Ness Big Sucker and the download since those pics were taken.
I still have yet to figure out the stupid mini bullets.
