So what do you guy's think about the aftermarket softail frames for the sportswear? I have short legs but I like the softail look. If they didn't make my legs spread out so far.

Holy crap that's expensive! I'd like to see one assembled. If it accepts "many 84-99 Softail components" I think it would be pretty slick.

I'm with the o.p. with the short legs. I hate how I feel when I put my feet down on a big twin. I have two though, so I just try to keep from stopping lol.
