Nice! I have been transforming my electra to be more "street glidish" as you put it, but still have some of the electra glide styling.

If anyone would know, that would be you, steelerdude. Your builds and rebuilds are fun to watch. I admire your creativity and tenacity on what I've seen you do.

Not much time in the shop, since starting this thread.

Our youngest graduated college on 5/9, had to do all the celebrating, moving him back home, (his fiance graduated also, lots of family stuff) etc. etc.

Working some OT to catch up for all of that, and buy harley parts.

I did find a set of fork lowers off of an 04. Need to test fit those, straighten the fork tubes, check the front axle to make sure its straight.

I've been looking at extensions for the rear fender. Metal, not fiberglass. Then I realized that the stock front fender is on the scrap pile. I may butcher that up, to see if I can make the rear extension / filler panels? Worth a shot.
