Your boy Kevin. And, that was for an unfinished raw set.

Well at least he got back to someone here! Haha. Never responded to my inquiry but at that price he doesn't have to. It would be a waste of time because that is outrageous.

Cool build for sure!! Looking forward to keeping tabs on this one. It's going to look killer when done I'm sure!! Please tell me you will upgrade the tires though!! These bikes are really cool, but I don't understand why HD would put so much effort into the new suspension and performance yet when all is said and done they slap on a pair of dirt tires!?! That bike should have some Commander III's, or Diablo Corsa's on it, then you could really push it through corners and rip it up around town. It's like buying a fancy new tailored suit, yet wearing some old chucks with it....Whatever, just my 2 cents.

It's clear you have never ridden an '18. Like you, I also had trepidation on the factory's tire selection. Upon purchasing one and putting in some quality riding time I beg to differ on your opinion.

Loving the swing arm conversion. Can't stand the mono shock garbage.

What - you mean the far superior performance, geometry and travel of the mono shock garbage? That enables lighter weight, better handling and a more enjoyable bike?

Your call. Stick with your old crappy softail suspension or a twin shock Dyna.

I know what I would rather ride....(having sold my Dyna Fat Bob to buy a Softail Fat Bob and having that bike prove conclusively to me that it performs much better).
