That is just plain cool, love the adaptation, and always love to see "real" custom work. Keep pushing forward, it will be awesome with the bags.

My answer, I love my wide Glide, I'm 6ft 2inches (without riding boots), and my wide glide fits me like a glove.
I have ridden touring bikes and just cant get comfortable.

If you add up the $$ I could have a SERG in the garage, but hell I likes what I likes!

Very inventive Larry. I must admit when I read the title I thought this is going to be weird but I actually like it a lot. I'm over 6' also and loved the ergonomics of my now sold '08 WG.

My son has an outer fairing and I was going to do the same thing to my '07 WideGlide but ended up going with the Memphis Shades batwing instead. I love yours it great.

That's bad. I think it looks great. Put some bags on it and you're good to go.

Looks a little odd to me. I don't like it, but if you do, that is all that matters.
