Thanks 'Chop. Yours looks great. Been looking into it for a few years off and on and no one I've come across recomendedd it or will touch it. Not talking to the right people apparently. Mines an '09 Fatbob, don't know if that presents any special challenges or not. Thanks for sharing your tips.

Here's a thread I started when I began my front end replacement ... https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...afternoon.html ... for anyone contemplating it, the link in post #14 was my bible and remains an excellent reference ....

For '06-later Dynas ... ackman1968 was the first I was aware of to make the conversion (on the forum) ... closely followed by U-234 on an '07 Street Bob .... They may have some 'gouge' on any special considerations (my recollection is there is about an 1/8" difference in stem height which requires a spacer/washer) ...

For those unable to view the photos of the OP, I've attached a couple of them below:

Chop, the thread link didn't come through your post. Could you post it again?

 

Just edited to add the link ....

 

Here's a couple of shots of my Project Street Bob. If all goes well I will be posting pics with the new paint in 2 weeks. Not green but House of Kolor Lazuli Blue, a dry pearl, over black. I'm supposed go by the painter's tomorrow to see paint samples and decide if I want the pearl in the clear or in the black.
I have some build process pics in my Album and more pics at www.flickr.com/photos/mcr-1955/sets .

 

Good god man that is a beautiful machine! Nice execution and a great idea if I do say so myself.


There are some minor differences in the build for 06 and newer as Todd stated but they are minor. Here's a link to my thread and I would be happy to answer any questions you have.

Thanks for all the links guys. Your bikes all look amazing. A few reasons I've never pulled the trigger on this is...couldn't get the info you have now provided, it's my sole vehicle daily driver and didn't want to screw it up too badly if it didn't work, I have a standing agreement with my wife and three kids that i won't unduly risk my life by driving an unroadworthy vehicle and my technical skill set is fairly novice. All my mods nave been backyard paint jobs and bolt ons. No cutting, grinding, welding....etc. Looking at your results has really lit the fire again for something I've always wanted to do. Still a trick to get around the time needed to complete a project like this...even if i knew what the heck i was doing. I will certainly hit you guys up with questions as they arrise. Still a bit much to get head around, even with all your pics and explanations since I am not very mechanically knowledgable. Thanks for the inspiration and taking the trouble to share your process.

 

Rick - Your Duo Glide Dyna is looking good ... first I've seen of it since you took the nacelle off ...
