How 'bout a nice write-up for those of us that have contemplated this job but just weren't sure of the complexity?

Congrats on a job well done!

Jerry,

Just post when you get your '09 and you're ready to do this. You can even call me and I'll go over it with you if need be. PM if/when you need some help.

Thanks to all for the feedback. To those inquiring about the front wheel size, it is an 18". The illusion of making it look like a 21" is created with my lowered front fender with NativeCustomBagger brackets.

PS> EvEr34, that Glide sure is sweet looking bro.
love the front fender. i'll be going that route this winter, was it hard to do cause it looks like the rivets were also removed too. did you have a shop do it?
