On your front, I see a brake caliper on the left side, but not one on the right side. Are you fabbing up a mount, or are you just going to leave the rotor bare? If you do leave the rotor bare, might as well remove it. Or polish it to a mirror finish.

Right now what your seeing is the stock 08 dyna front brake caliper . Plan is to run the touring brembo's as soon as I can find a decent deal on them via CL or egay

The lower legs are flhx 2015 units so brembo will be complete bolt on since that's what they are made to run, I happen to grt lucky and use the original caliper to get me by til I find the good stuff

I have 4 Hog Tunes 5.25" speakers hooked up to the front left and right channels in series, this dropped the 4ohm output from the head unit to 2ohms at each speaker. I think it is nice when out riding at around 70mph, haven't had a chance to push it out on a highway with more speed. I picked this head unit for two reasons, one I wanted Bluetooth to stream my music and two because it is way lighter then a CD head unit. The CD unit I had fell into the fairing when I hit a bump to the weight, added support to the rear of the unit would have avoided that but why, I to don't listen to CD because they skip a lot on a bike and I still needed BT. Another nice thing about the unit is that it doesn't need the depth for clearance, one can install this unit with about 4" of space available behind the unit. Only bad thing about it is that it's not water proof.

Dude that looks awesome, i've been toying with the idea of a fairing for the winter rides as I use my Dyna for everything (got also a small car but never liked 4 wheels, the only 4 wheels that I ever liked was when I had 2 bikes in my garage )

Keep it up!

That fairing looks good

Are you going to do anything here?

No ended up using the dyna fork caps and lowered the triples to close the gap. There's about 1/4" between bells and lower legs but the cap (painted black) makes it look pretty good imo

You could pick up some fairing mounted mirrors off a street glide..........if you are thinking about some.
