I do Not wish to be critical... just my "take"
things like an FXWG rear fender on a regular SuperGlide turn me Off!!!
Nothing for the normal Human to concern themselves with certainly...
Like I said.... Nice ride

Note I absolutely love me some 3 gal Bobs... Nicest setup ever ... but again... my humble opinion!!! FXS.... me Likey!!!!
