That bike turned out pretty dang nice, I love it. But the big question for me is how does your cool exhaust system sound ?? I have always been curious about glaspacs on one of these, my friend has some huge upswept ones on his old Shovel and they sound dang good.

Thanks for all of the positive comments..I really appreciate it. It felt really good to do it myself..since I had never done it before and I finished about 2 days before heading to Sturgis..so it was close..:-)
Thanks..it is the craftsman jack..a friend of mine gave that to me because he quit riding and no longer needed it.
I did a quick video..they sound much better in person:

Yeah me too..I had a guy paint the bike for $500..kept it simple so I could finish for Sturgis.I will be adding some white to it when I get it repainted. I am thinking of putting the flying wheel on the tank..but I am undecided..and outta money..so that will come later

First off, that is beautiful man, great work!!
Now I am feeling like I need to rethink my conversion.
You basically just did what I am planning on doing to my 07 rk police.
I want to black it all out, add beach bars, hhi hidden controls, a rear kit with stretched wide fender and bags, maybe stretched tank, detachabl;e fairing with a large led for nav and multi media but wired so I can pop it off for around town and put it on for long trips, hidden lights in the rear with custom cut outs, side panels, and possibly an adjustable triple tree set up to rake the bike, but only after a lot more research to make sure I am not going to ruin the ride with the adjustable neck block and trees, over a cut and weld.'
a 26" wheel with spokes
The transformation you did is very close to what I want to end up with and what I am starting with, lol, I feel like now if I do it I am copying you.
I hadnt seen it done, I just visualized it piece by piece and made my grocery list.
One one hand I am really glad to see yours on the other I dont want to be a poser and just do what everyone else has done either.
Now you got me thinking of what I can do to separate myself from others a little so it is truly unique and not a simple expensive conversion that everyone else has already done.
I wanted to go a combo of flat black and gloss black, leave the black/chrome engine as is for some contrast and add a little red here and there with a few covers in flat black with red lettering that say 103 on the horn, primary and derby covers, plus the rear lights, maybe a hidden plate, etc..
Again bro, beautiful job and bike, I am jealous.
I cant wait to get mine going.
