Not bad at all, but please run a single headlight on there. The fat bob duel set up looks like crap IMO.

I don't really get it. Sportsters are supposed to be a 'skinny' bike.

What?

Each bar measures 12". Only 10" come past the fork tube.

So that makes the widest part of your bike the bars at 20", right? Ditch the clutch and front master, cut the bars just wide enough for a throttle and you'll be skinny. My bars are 16.5" wide. The only thing wider is my shoulders. Splitting lanes is the name of the game. I love skinny bikes man, but the front end does look good on this sporty. I had a mid glide on mine.

i think it looks cool. i'm not a huge fan of white walls or those gator cover things on the front but who cares, the fat forks are pretty neat looking. i think the dual headlights are going to look sick!
