Default 2010 Project - Step 1

I know it's not real exciting at this point, but here is a stock 2009 Road Glide Frame that we had stretched 6" and replaced the stock downtubes with radius downtubes - Nothing like destroying a perfectly good frame. . .

This is step one of what should be a pretty bad Road Glide. More pics coming as they become available.

Ha - That's funny! I know that's the current trend, but we're going with a 21". I've seen some bigger ones that look really awkward. We are going to add a stretched tank and it should have some really clean lines when finished. The 6" will also help fit my tall frame. We are going to push the floor boards and handle bars far forward as we can.
