I have to say here that speaking honestly I think you're nuts. Please don't get me wrong I am not knocking what you plan to do or trying to flame you, just for me, and it's a purely personal opinion, I don't understand why you would want to that other than maybe a way to get a less expensive bagger (maybe not that cheap after you've done all that) or it's a fun 'project' which I can relate to in a way. However the end result just wouldn't do it for me lol

I bought my Dyna StreetBob because I hated the overloaded look the Heritage Softails and larger bagger style bikes offered. I didn't want a Sportster - but wanted a big twin with a cleaner cut back and leaner look which is exactly (again for me) the StreetBob offers.

I love my StreetBob and it will now be the last Harley I buy - although not necessarily the last bike as I am also looking the new Triumph Bonneville and Norton Commando ranges.

i built a dyna bagger so that i could have a stripped down bobber to rip around town, then be able to suit up and go cross country. mine went from bobber to bagger in a very short time... here is the youtube vid i made when i sold the parts to customer... was the best of both words... and i had a screaming stereo! was nice when you where putting 10 - 12 hours a day in the saddle

Everyone has different ideas. I loved my street bob when I first got it, but it's just gotten plain and boring now. Ready to take on a new challenge and plus it's not going to be an over night project. Probably going to take a good bit of time to get everything perfect. My dad builds trikes out of Harleys and has given a lot of positive advice for when it comes to questions I have.

Better look at the front fender, yeah I do sewing as well. Currently working on a passenger seat for the wife.

It's the Rambler front fender from Russ Wernimont. I had a dumb a** moment when I first put it on. The mounts didnt line up the I realized "duh idiot face it the other way". Went right on like a champ, got to love those "oh yeah" moments haha.

I'm still searching for a rear fender, I've been told that the street glide fender will fit between the Street Bob fender struts. It's a 8 3/4 wide mounting area. Anyone know how wide the 2008 Street Glide rear fender is?

Watching this one. Sounds cool.

For me, this bike belonging to forum member AFMM3 is my idea of a bag toting dyna. I just love the DuoGlide look.

Klockwerks makes a fender that I am planning on using on my bob, hopefully in the next month or so, that is originally made for the pre 08' touring bikes with a 180 kit. If I remember correctly the fender comes with either a 2" or 6" stretch and is both 8.125" and 8.625" wide. I think the 8.125 is the one that will fit, but not positive, I still haven't measure my strut spacing.
