Default My Wide Glide Shark Nose, do I fit in here now?
Hi All, Finished my 06 Wide Glide / Road Glide transformation.
I love my WG and love the Shark nose, so I just had to do this, (with special thanks to my friend for making the custom bracket!) THANKS!... Hey! I said Thanks!.
Let me know if I can hang in the touring side now?!

Hmmmm....A+ for ingenuity and design, but it's kinda like putting shoulder pads on a cheerleader. She's still a cheerleader.

LOL, great analogy.
While doing this, collecting parts and info, a bunch of people asked "why not just get a Road Glide"?
My answer, I love my wide Glide, I'm 6ft 2inches (without riding boots), and my wide glide fits me like a glove.
I have ridden touring bikes and just cant get comfortable.

If you add up the $$ I could have a SERG in the garage, but hell I likes what I likes!

Wow nice work. Looks a little odd but it is still pretty cool just the same!!! That is definitely a one-off that you won't see anywhere else.
