New look for my Fatboy front end!

Decided after rebuilding the forks to go with the minimalist approach as I did in the rear, BUT on my front end . It looks VERY DIFFERENT but I think I like it! The bike won't be on the road AT ALL this summer so it's got time to grow on me.

OK, since you brought it up.........ICK
Shovelhead guys used to do that all the time, especially when they extended the forks on FL front ends. And it always looked the same...... like you just ran out of money. Only you know what looks good to you, but a tinned up headlight without the cowbells looks awful to me. But remember, thats just my opinion.

Thanks for the inputs guys.........
I Didn't mean to offend you both by my decision. I have never been around the "shovelhead guys" nor did I run out of money and FOR SURE I would NEVER tell someone.........
"I think that looks like sh*t."
No matter what they did to it. But that's just me.
I had never seen a 41MM FL front end configured this way before so I figured, why not give it a try? I guess thats what i get for riding Hondas till 2004.......
Glad it's MY BIKE and I'm in Alaska so you two will never have to put up with seing it in person. To each his own, right?

With out the bike being assembled, I couldn't say if I liked it or not. I just added spots to mine last year to help with my night riding, have them pointing out a little to aid in spotting deer.
I know this much, I would never sell my spare, leftover parts until I was completely done with a project.

If you don`t want to see any comments about your ideas, then don`t post any...
By the way, the missing cowbells on the front end reminds me of the rat choppers in the early 70`s. Don`t worry though, I`m not offended.

I've got pretty thick skin, REALLY. I'm all for constructive criticism properly dished out. I guess I am a believer in the phrase "approach determines response" and I did NOT approach the post negatively (BTW I never really asked a question in it) I was just showing some progress on a LOOOOONG rebuild............Sorry but that's how I DO IT. Just me, not all here in the frozen tundra. Ride safe, ride often, ride blessed!

I kinda like the look. I don't think anyone was trying to rain on your parade, just not their style. Thats why there are so many different style bikes. To each his own. If YOU like it, then keep it that way and ride it with pride. There are things I have done on my bike that others don't like, but I love. Thankfully, I am the one riding it. I think we all get rubbed the wrong way sometimes, when someone doesn't like something we did with our bikes, but it's all about making the bike what YOU want it to be, and nothing else. Just my .02 cents.
