Gartec just saw you on IG. I’m @bigwheelsaredead.

Bike is looking good. Riding wheelies on that big girl? I gotta say it really lightens up the look of the bike, pretty sweet but don’t have the ***** to chop my fender and hard bags.

yeah. i thought that was you. funny I tagged about big wheel bikes suck and that's your name pretty much on Instagram. lol that's the reason i need a new rear tire. been practicing clutch ups when riding around town. its a totally different animal than the dyna. getting this pig up takes different throttle and clutch timing than the dyna did. really its just a fender chop, no big deal. can always get another fender down the road if i have a change of heart. i didn't mess up the rear fascia extension. only the fender was harmed with the masking tape and cut of wheel.

i really like seeing the exposed rear tire. gives a little toughness to the bike instead of the extended bagger scene tail on all the baggers out there. will see how i like it once the saddle bag supports are bolted back up if i need some filler panels but i think ill like the exposed hardware look with some integrated brake lights back there. sort of like an 80's fxrt had exposed rear hardware. I guess that's where I am taking this bike is a head nod to the fxrt but with the newer style fairing. need to do +2 front and +2 rear. and get some powder coating going.

Hot the bag supports back from powdercoating. $40 to powder both sets black.

Getti g custom dynamics saddlebag inserts for the rear brake, run, turn scenerio. Then drill the rear fender for a laydown plate holder

Gartec looking good. Would look 10x better if you grind those exhaust hangers off the saddlebags supports.
