looks pretty cool how it has all came together and it sounds like you ride the crap out of your bike so not to bad for still being able to scrape the pipes and save some looks. I like it without the front fender but if you ride in much rain that would be a bad choice. Great work and creativity, I am sure we will see some that follow your footsteps. Nice write up.

 

Tough looking bike! I always like the fat front ends on Dynas.
Nice work.

What length rear shocks you running and what brand?
I wouldn't mind a lil' more clearance for riding two up.

 

I dig this. Love it when someone has one model but turns it into some kinda bastard creation by combining things from another model.

One thng I would do is put some kinda "covered" shocks on the back. Those fxdx shock look kinda wimpy compared to the beefy-ness of the rest of the bike. With covered shocks it would look like an old but modernized FL duo glide kinda thing.

Kinda like this...




Cool. Very cool.

 

Thank you all for your comments! I have my lower profile stock seat that I will take the completed pics with once my front fender gets completed! BTW I have yet to ride this setup so once I do I will let you all know what its like...thanks again!

 

Hey Thomas ... gotta love that '61 Duo Glide ... that bike has been an inspiration to me as well ...

Props to you for the time/work invested. You can bet your's will stand out in a crowd. The paint really helped bring the Industrial look out on it.

Now ride the hell out of it.

 

I have a 07 FXD that I am looking at doing the FatBoy front end on. Is it a bolt on swap or is there some mods that have to be done other than the bump stops? Thanks

 

Here's my dyna

 

For Uneasy,
You must put a washer under the neck bearing on the lower tree. On the newer Dynas the lower bearing seems to be recessed farther up in the neck. That spaces the top and bottom of the tree farther apart. So the tins/nachelle holes don't line up. It creates a problem in using a Quick Detach windshield. I'm going to work on that problem, but at this time I'm working on larger saddlebags. I have several pics in my Album.

 

For my 01 the bump stops were the biggest but the previous post said something about spacing but I did not have that problem...but again mine is an 01 which might be different than yours.
