looks sweet Hotrod!! and your original front tire and fatboy fender looks good on the wideglide front end, actually to be honest the tire and fender look better than I thought it would!
Thanks guys, Yeah I thought the black would highlight the rims and 2 tone paint. It's an inch longer than stated but still feels real good on the road. I'm gonna need a longer brake cable and most likely will get a Wilwood caliper for the front..
That does look good, interesting. Maybe a smaller headlight though, but that is a personal preference. Good job.
Thanks Bill.. I do have a smaller headlight 4 3/4"er and it actually looked to small.. I do like the way the OEM fills it out though.. I don't think I want to spend again on a 5 3/4"er just to see if I like it or not.. I'm pretty content right now..

I don't know Hotrod, never put a wideglide front end on a fatboy, I put a wideglide front end on my 78 FXS, mainly because a buddy of mine had a old lowrider with a wideglide front end and I thought to looked so cool, so I guess you could say I copied him. I got a hold of a 82 wideglide front end, 21" tire, rotor, brake caliper and just stuck it on. I didn't check rake, trail or anything, not the right way of doing it! lol, got on it and road it and It handles great, and I know purist will say I messed up the handling of the bike, but come on look at the looks
I I like that 78.... I would like to see more pictures of that one...
