You got a few months before you need to really worry. A polished set will usually show up on eBay every few weeks. I think I got mine last year for about the same $60. If all else fails, I know the black ones at Zanottis were under $200. Maybe the polished ones are less? Kinda doubt it but worth checking.

I checked ebay and found the black ones for $224.00. I hope to find a polished set. I also seen a fatboy frontend for about $650.00. If I knew someone to do the cut work needed on the lower tree, I would almost go that route instead. I've read on alittle on it on this forum but I am not that brave to try this myself.

DTDK, the freight train headlight will give you one minor issue. The units made for the FL Softails are for use on bikes with 31 degree rake and when installed on a Dyna with 29 degree (29.5 for the FLD) you can't adjust the headlight enough to get it out in front of you. I got to doing a bit of looking and I'm thinking one from a 70's FLH might be the answer but I want to see one up close and personal before I buy another one that I can't use.

Shovel triple trees are closer together than Softail or Dyna. Nachelle holes won't match up to trees. On my '80 the holes are about 6.5in c to c.
I guess you could lower the rear or lengthen the fork tubes to aim the headlight.

I wonder how much you would have to drop the back? I was planning on a set of 12 inch air shocks in the rear, i wonder if that half inch would help get that nacelle to work.
Is there room for a second hole 3/4 of an inch below the bottom on your '80?

I moved the Shovel out to the shop building today. Gonna switch bags and maybe replace the shield with the batwing. I'll try to remember to do some measuring while I'm out there painting the bag brackets tomorrow after work/school.

I saw the FLD bags up close they are really nice looking, like the old shovelhead bags to me. Other than a clean take off I see no advantage for me, but still very sweet looking setup. I still have not got anywhere with the rear fender part #. If anyone has drop me a line please. I have been told two dates and neither has came threw yet.

Rick - Dig your pseudo-Switchback (sans windshield) look ... one of the few photos of your bike I've seen with the bags on ... did you color-match them to your tins ...? Got any pics ...?

Todd, they look the same still, been so busy outside I haven't taken the time to finish the bags.
New thought on the duals, use stock headpipes and mimic Samson's cross under true duals.....

... except you still need to support the left side pipe sticking out the back ... you going to hang it on the bottom of your bag ...?
