Can't be too bad, I had a D&D Fatcat sent to Northern Ontario from Texas. It was well worth the cost.

Trust me...it's the way to go....and the black and silver on the wheels will really work well with the green.

Hey Batman, not telling you what to do, but why not post a little shopping list of things you need. Then see what might happen.
Keep in mind this stuff ain't free. You're working for all of us! While we sit on the sidelines and watch. Lol. (Just a suggestion)

Here's the mirrors:









Now, here's the deal on these....there are guys on here who can send you the template for drilling the holes, as it's not just "one hole"...there is a guide pin that has to be drilled out as well.....so do a search on here, or find someone who will send you the guideplate to print out and use with the mirror to drill the holes and mount them. PLEASE...don't drill until you get the mirror!

These are 170 dollar mirrors I got on clearance for 60 bucks, and then later didn't need....so I rather see you actually use them and enjoy them then see them sit in one of my boxes.

Send me a PM if you still want, and I'll go and send them. Not eveyone likes them, and thus that was why I got them at 60% off...

I'm thinkin'...you could easily paint these green if you so wanted...


and remember, Jesus loves you.

I'm working from the front of the bike to the rear, so at this point suggestions on the following:
Dash- I don't plan on using the CB and headset so a low profile would be nice.
Seat- I have a friend with a '12 street glide seat no price yet.
Rear fender- Thinking either filler panels or a rear fender cover.(Milwaukee)
Rear turn signals-

Also passing lights or no passing lights. I like the trike style, but I picked up a pair of street glide fronts cheap. I'll have to try it both ways so I may have some stuff for sale myself.
