I just ordered the short Hoffman fender from getlowered. Is that the mid length? Because it looks good too? Damn!

I have not seen a fxrt fairing that bolts to a touring inner. I have only seen a full fairing swap on street glides or older road glides to adapt the fxrt fairing.

So far the only performance builder that I have seen do anything with the tank is San Diego Customs. See their maroon and cream Road Glide:
Yaffe tends to cater towards the big wheel and custom crowds more than the performance crowd. Unless the modification serves some function I don't see a more performance oriented build doing much with the gas tank.

Not personally but that bike/shop/guy is local to me. Soto22 or MTScustoms on instragram. I'm sure theyd answer your questions.
Spadafora choppers in Malden, MA, barnstorm cycles and luckystrike designs are all doing knee cutouts on perfomance baggers. Spadafora looks the cleanest with the round cut, IMO.

[QUOTE=SoCalDyna2015;19373875]I actually put the lever in a vice between two pieces of wood, heated the lever right at the elbow, and put a pipe on it. I had two pieces of wood cut to fit into the pipe to I could sandwich the lever and bend. Needs heat for sure, I had one already cut and powder coated that I tried to bend, snapped immediately.
Was catching up on the thread and saw your pics and was getting ready to ask how you did it. I figured I'd read some more before asking what you already answered. haha... I was thinking about doing the same thing with my stock chrome levers and figured you'd need some heat to bend them. I have a fab buddy that I'm gunna have help me with this. I got aftermarket black levers, but they're pretty much exactly like stock and I'm finding my left hand is cramping a lot and I'm hoping the reduced reach will help.
