Default My FLDL project

Well I got the fatboy frontend done and now I want to start on the rear fender. I have a rear fender from a 2004 heritage that I want to use, what I have done so far is to lay the fender on its side and traced it onto a piece of sheet metal and marked the holes on the fender with blue sharpie and set it beside my fender to see how it will line up, and I wanted to get your guys opinion on how it looks.

To each his own. I think it will look good Ive seen a couple other members on here do something similar and I like the look.

Um, the front end is black and nearly everything else on the bike is chrome. Are you going to fix that? The fender silhouette looks great from here. You could remove the nacelle, leave the cowbells, and swap for a smaller headlight. It makes for a real cool look also. It's not for everyone I guess, I think it rocks.

Default Another FLDL!!??

That's pretty cool, haven't seen another. I'm new to this forum, so could be many others. I got started on my FatRider project a couple weeks ago after a year of picking up parts, and finding the time. Looks good, I should be on the road in a month or so. I'm going without the shroud, and the 7 in. headlight. Got that all mocked up, just got some more grinding to go to suss out the fork stops. I'm also running led's in the dash for the indicators. It's all coming together, but trying to free up time from work, and getting over to the shop has been proving difficult. It will be done when the snow melts.

I can't get over how cool those front ends look withOut the nacelle (the flat chrome headlight surround). I don't like big headlights personally, but they don't look bad.

dude, that front end rocks. i think you need to black out a few more things. not real big on the look of the rear fender, but it looks like youve got it mocked up in the right spot. ive seen a few bikes on here that went that direction and they came out awesome.
