yep..my winter project [that lasted until may] is finally done!
with the exception of the kuryakyn front signal mounts[backordered]
and the new motion pro "blackout series" clutch cable[also backordered]
id just like to say.. i have no idea what made me think i could take on a project this size and see it to fruition,but,if not for help from many here on the h.d.f, and the supervision of my good friend justin[a harley tech. in annapolis md.] this would not have been possible... so my thanks go to eveyone who has ever posted in a dyna thread for your ideas, thoughts, screw-ups, and experiences.. not to mention boosting my confidence on my powdercoating endeavors...
guess i should list the mods/upgrades..
1st the whole bike was basically stripped down to the frame and motor, added a set of '06-'07 wide glide triple trees[with bob's stock tubes],21"front wheel, progressive suspention front end kit,13"flanders bars, yaffe pistol grip levers,chrome buttons, kuryakyn maltese mirrors, motion pro "blackout series"
cables, & goodridge "ebony series" brake lines...out back, i bobbed the rear fender[including the stock taillight], installed harley's run-turn-brake controller, added a dreamweaver's pro street sidemount taillight/license bracket w/ a model A ford "stop" taillight...& used shorter stand-offs for the rear signals[front and rear signals have chrome bulbs installed as well...]also installed progressive 11" shocks
as for the powdercoating... i did everything myself![god that feels good] and after all was said and done, i ended up doing roughly 150 pieces...and there's still chrome on the bike!!!
list includes: spokes [front and rear],bars,dash, triple trees, fork lowers,turn signals,shock hardware,& strut covers..as well as all associated bolts,washers,etc. all done in "super mirror black"here are some shots i took today...not the best, i'll post more later...
lemme know what you guys think!!!

RE: i cant believe it's finally done!
b.t.w. thats a dunlop elite 3 90/90 up front there...and that low-slung stance is due to progressive suspension..1" drop front and back...rear tire is the stock dunlop 160mm. @ 6700 miles it still seems to have quite a bit of life left... most likely gonna go w/ the[dunlop] gt502 180mm. after the summer..maybe sooner burnouts not withstanding

RE: i cant believe it's finally done!
Fantastic job, my friend! One down note...
I had those same mirrors on my bob. They didn't last long before they pitted AND I finally had to toss them because they would no longer hold their position. The little screw behind/inside the mirror just wouldn't hold them in place. Hope you have better luck with those.
Again, great bike.
