slothy...have been off the forum for a while. Work has had the better of me. I knew you were working on this thing. This bike is SICK!!! If I were to build my dream bagger it would pretty much look like yours. CRAZY SICK!!!

Kudos my friend. What does it feel like to have the coolest bike on the block by a mile??? Let us know when it gets a cover shot!!

It'll look sweet for sure. There's been quite a turn toward the Road Glide look.

You gonna use the lower "brace" on the fairing? The one that goes under the steering neck to the top of the down tubes. I can't see it in the pic. Might be the angle or not there yet.


I'll be interested in any buffeting/wind protection vs the bat wing. It seems the further I get from my batwing the more wind. I know the Road Glide shield is more forward.

they make 2 style braces for the people who aren't using a crash bar. the one you mentioned and one that bolts to tank to the fairing - both need to be modified to work on the raked bikes. ill prob do the style you are talking about, seems a little more beefy imo.
