Bike looks damn good! Do you have any more pics? Is that an XBones Springer front end?

Thank you for the positive replies, in fact it's a 2005 FLSTS front fork,
The bike was made in the winter of 2007 a good year before the X-Bones came out. I made some small modifications since then.
Now I'm hesitating to put another rear end...any suggestions?

I'm partial to the bobbed fender you have on there. It would look good to PC the fender struts to match the frame. It's on my to do list. A solo seat would give it a different look. I dunno. A Heartland style rear fender and the old style springer front end would clash imho.
