Very nice!!!
i went with a newer model, for full wrap around back rest for the wife when she is on back... i have one of jackyl's sissy bar plate brackets... did mock up last night actually!
was $104 to my door, full wrap around back rest, lock and key, and luggage rack
here is the bracket Jackyl made me up
fairing in the future?
stock street glide outter fairing
custom inner fairing (still needs a bit of fab work to make them work but should be awesome)

Everyone hates the AMF bikes, but for some unknown reason, those are the ones I like!
Superglides, are evolved from FLH's....I am making my bike into an FLH....but with all the reliability of my EFI equipped Twin Cam.
Thanks guys for the positive comments.....for the first tme in a long time, am excited about my Superglide again........it's becoming the shovel I've always secretly longed for!
I love "cone" AMF shovels!!

I know I keep saying it....but alot of guys don't know that DYNA's started out as touring bikes....the Touring bikes made today are FLT's....the older touring bikes are called FLH's. In 1973, Willie G stripped FLH touring bikes, put an Sportster front end on them, bobbed up the tail and voila....the "Superglide" came about.
Since my bike is a Superglide, I am simply putting the old skool bagger FLH back into her!
Too easy...and the FLH stuff is out there to be had. Why trade for a bagger, when you can bring your bike back to what it originally was?
I am really happy with things right now, and appreciate the kind words!
