Duo Glide Dyna

My pretty standard Dyna just customized to look like a classic Duo Glide. With a heritage front-end and custom fat rear fender it has very unique look.

Softail floorboards appear to be quite similar to the setup Ackman1968 and I run ... U-234 has similar, but older style ....
See links below the video for his photo album on flickr dot com ... don't seem to be compatible for posting on here [at least I couldn't see them on two separate computers ....]
My rationale is that the generator motor had a generator that sat horizontal behind the front of the cover ... the pipes on the Twin cam extend right into that space ... kind of kills the illusion in my opinion ... no disrespect to the guys who are sporting them ....
The green is kinda cool to me that kind of mint green that is a Hot Rod color ... seems to fit the scheme ... although it doesn't do that much for me either ....
Don't think Brendan did it himself ... might have, but as a big wig probably doesn't have the time ... extremely well done and the finish is excellent ....
Rocker boxes/covers with the panhead style are done by several makers ... Exzotic, but also Paughco ... I like the NYC Choppers a little better ... don't scream 'knock off' quite as much ...
Exzotic also makes 'knuckle' rocker boxes/covers ....
Great looking bike ....

p.s. hey Brendan ... you might contact the site administrators about changing your 'forum name' from DouGlide to DuoGlide ....

Great looking bike. Video made me want to take a ride. Looked into putting an FL front end on a Dyna. Didn't get a lot of great answers. What's the best method? If you don't cut the neck and weld on a new one you have a 3/4 inch (FL) mounting into a 1 inch collar (dyna). Sounds like a big compromise to the strength and integrity of the front end. What's the scoop?

There are several of us on here who've done the same thing with the FLST (Heritage, Fat Boy, Deluxe) take-off front end on a Dyna ... both Pre-'06 and Post-'05 Dyna frames ....
Does not compromise the strength or integrity of the front end, whatsoever ....
Just putting up a quick post ... don't have time to find any of the 'how-to' threads right now ... if someone else doesn't post a link, I'll post one up this afternoon or this evening ....
