I like it alot!
I kind of agree. I was going for more comfort AND a beefier burly look, but I like the way you describe it best " a lilttle more sinister."

Glider.
You bike looks great. I been debating for some time on what front fender to get. (I have lowers as well) I ended up getting the KW Level as well. After seeing your pics, I am glad I made that choice.

Thanks
I had to look at a lot of fenders before I could decide. This one was the best of the KW line IMO. Although I had seen a couple that I liked just as much, this was competively priced and an the prep and setup ready for paint was second to none. My painter said he loved it when he got KW fenders and tanks etc to paint. Let's see a pic of your bike with the fender.

I guess Phil burning out a tire here and there is the price you pay for him doing the work on the 107. Glad to hear the job is working out. Love the 18's. Which wheels are they?
I just dropped of parts for powder as well. Good to see what they'll look like.

Looks awesome! I wish they had that color when I bought my bike (but then, they didn't have Street Glides yet either!)

I went the 18" front/rear, and like it.
