Awesome bike, which I could chop of my rear fender like that too. But that would get me a fine and the authorities are cracking down on HDs where I am now.

I think in most places a bike won't pass a safety without original fenders. Something about safety, who knows.

Very nice looking bike you have there, and very nice work done to it!

Is it possible to do the same on a fatboy? I'm contemplating either a fatboy or a sportster forty-eight, and bobbing it.

By the way, how comfortable is that seat? do you think you can ride for a few hours at a time? I would love to be able to take my bike for a long ride now and then and not have a raw a$$ at the end of it!
