Looks sharp. I really dig those clothes-pin springs, have actually been thinking of putting some on my scoot. Headlight is cool too, breaks out of the mold a bit.

Man I really envy you guys with the 2010 Sportsters that don't have the ECM in the fender. I really love the looks of the rear fender with the true solo seats like what you have. It is so clean! Nice job!

Thanks everyone. I used the hairpin springs to really get that old school look. As far as future plans I have a spare set of tins and I am thinking of painting them a flat orange with a white scallop and then putting on some wide white walls. Just some thoughts.
