Not sure about that! I already have a lot of people here that asked me if my bike is for sale...(strut-less). Itīs all about beeing unique!

Alot of nice Soft Tails is chopped as well to get a nicer rear...

i dunno... i dont think it will devalue from the price at resale... but if your lookin for ride a passenger maybe... but if youre looking to ride a passenger, then you wont want to ride a bobber...

me, i love the look...

THE WAY OF THE BOBBER!!!!

Mud, your bike is really looking awesome. I would have never thought of a mustard-type color as viable but between that and the black. It's sweet. Congrats.

The shocks on my bike are Hagons (I know they're sold in U.S.) they are almost identical, not expensive (around $220) and they will custom build them to your weight, they are soooo much better than stock

Well if you think this is going to devalue the bike then stay tuned.......I LOVE this bike and I never fall in love with anything. I have sold some nasty stuff before just because I get bored but not this time. I have always had the intention of keeping this and buying a Street Glide in a year or two. My wife doesnt ride so no one rides on my bike. This mod will look OEM by the time im done but you need to get your hands dirty to start. SO with that being said thanks for the compliments and i'll keep you posted. Going to rework the tank/dash and havent figured out the front fender yet but she's getting repainted too (again)

Nice Muddy! I guess there's no going back now, the turn sigs worked out pretty good in that location. You have to post pics of the original bike, then the siver w/apes version and now the mustard no strut version.

I was supposed to do a sig pic for you when I got your original SB shocks but you keep changing the damn thing!

Changed the pic in the beginning putting it at the end too....this if I got 10 1/2" shocks. Works performance can make them for me. Would minimize the travel but would be set up right....this doesnt look too much like a touring bike anyway.
