This looks so much better compared to those plastic pieces at the end of the fender. Very Nice!
I would need to fit German plates on it. What is the largest width I could fit (distance between blinkers in millimeters if possible).
Thanks!

@VernDiesel Yeah, the running lights are pretty bright, which is what I was looking for. I've got Custom Dynamics signal/running lights as well. The lights on the sides of the plate will light up but I had to buy the Dynamic Load Isolator to get those setup. I haven't installed it yet. But if you do the plate with the side lights you can only run them as signals as they are amber. I was hoping I could run them as running lights but apparently you can't run amber lights to the rear.
Here's the Dynamic Load Isolator https://www.customdynamics.com/dynam...8-softail?cat=

I recently got one of the Blackmill kits for my Sport Glide. Love how it looks. Great support from Blackmill. I think handling the wiring harness for the Custom Dynamic license plate was more difficult. I took my time and hit up the local HD dealer for some spare harness extenders so I could splice those without cutting into the stock harness. I always think "I should record this install so I can post it up" then I never do.
Did you find those spare harness extenders? Are they common around the Harley shop or is there a part number I can reference?
Thanks

Thanks for getting me on to DK Custom. I spoke with both parts and service at my dealer about maybe using Fat Boy mounts and the short answer is they said they couldn’t do that. It was beyond my capability to get into that level of wrenching. I ended up getting a pair of the 12 inch, chrome, half moon shaped DK Custom floorboards.
Not trying to knock your dealer, but it isn't a difficult conversion. By the way, your bike looks good!

No offense or disrespect only asking. You may have legit reasons or life just worked out that way. Anyway If these mods are where you wanted to take your bike why not pay $4,000 less for a Street Bob?
I assume at times you ride with the fairing & bags which would make the SG a more reasonable choice. BTW it is a cool looking bike I’m not dissing it.

No disrespect at all, as I wondered the same thing. In the end, I really wanted the front forks and front tire on the Sport Glide, and the option of tossing on the Sport Glide's fairing and hard bags, which I do indeed use from time to time. That's kinda what I like about the Sport Glide, in that it can be many different bikes depending on the day. Granted, it doesn't do any of them perfectly, but it does all of them well enough to enjoy the versatility of the bike. Cheers!

Street Bob seats can be had for cheap.
