If you don't care that they are black you can get any 14+ Touring lower legs doesn't have to be SG. I opted for these as I wanted black instead of brushed alum or chrome. Iv seen the regular brushed alum ones with cowbells for as little as 100 for the set

Another question ... Aren't the street glide lower legs a little shorter than the Dyna ones? Maybe 1/2 to 3/4 inch shorter ? Did that cause any issues?

So far iv got the inner fiberglassed, about to make speaker domes and then bond and sand. Ended up ditching the HD quick release windshield clamps cuz it made the fairing stick too far forward. Found some cheap black turn signal relocation clamps got 3 set, 2 for fairing and 1 for lower fairing panel that covers fork. Pics to come

Yes I was concerned too but no noticeable difference as far as I can tell. Between that and the air shock the bike actually sits taller. Ended up lowering the triples (raising forks) to close the gap between cowbells and fairing lower panel

On a positive note I got the rear brake linkage issue worked out so I can ditch the add on plate and have effective braking ability

Had to griND the lever quite a bit to clear my v+H 2-1 exhuast.







Getting all levers brake and clutch arms bag latches top triple clamp primary cover horn cover and any other ugly chrome bits done black thus coming week

What size is your front wheel ? 17 or 18 ?
Your Dyna caliper and the stock road glide rotor?
I assume that all the different size front wheels have rotors that match up to the caliper since the fork legs are all the same regardless of the wheel size?

You gonna trust the brake lever don't snap when you need it? No porosity in that weld?
