Yes, it does make the fender look a bit closer. Switching out the rear fender makes a huge difference on how low the rear looks as well. We left just enough room for the shocks to bottom out without hitting the fender. Plus the stock fender has a much more bubbled shape to it. When I'm sitting on it the wheel is actually about 3/4" up inside the fender...pretty slick looking. As far as the seat I haven't put any miles on it. It is only as narrow as the frame so it requires a narrow ***. I don't think it will be too bad but you definately know you aren't on the stock seat though. I'll post again once I get some miles on it.

We got the back wheel and polished rotor on...bolted right up and looks way mean. The rocker covers and rear pulley are going to powdercoat today and the dash, rear fender, and a few other pieces should be going to the pinstriper today too. So if all goes well and my new wheel gets here next week it should be all back together by Friday.

That blue spoke setup is slick! That would be unique for sure...I like it.

 

Can't wait to see the pics of the finished product!

 

If Basic's mods arrive and get installed on time it's almost going to make me feel sorry for the rest of the June Bike of the Month competitors. The lowered shocks and lowered rear fender setup sounds like the way to go.

 

Looking for shocks for my bike I noticed you guys went with either 11 or 11.5. BASIC, what made you go 11? and also did you order it for the 06 BOB (My tech said he could not find a part # for the BOB and was thinking that maybe he had to order one just for a generic Dyna) Anyone know the part # for the 06 Street bob 11 or 11.5 progressives (Black shock)? Thanks.

 

YOGA,

The 412-4037b(or c) fits the 06 Dyna.

Hi, Eddie from NYC here. I am new to the forum but have been reading the posts for some time.
Here are some pics of 11 inch shocks on my bob to get an idea of how they will look, hope this helps.

 

Thanks WHIFf.
ps. I have an extra set of passenger fotpeg brackets if you need them. They come in wrinkle black, I had a chrome pair that I powdercoated glossy black to match the frame.

 

WHIFF, I think your pm box is disabled. Again.
