    Well, the wife left me unsupervised again, and I got to looking at my bike and all the parts hanging around the garage.

    Yeah, it's the stock Wide Glide front wheel. I was going to shoot the rims black too, but haven't got around to it yet.

    I like the rubber boots on the front end and the pseudo chrome/black contrasts here and there. That bikes a keeper. Its one of them shovel/evo transition bikes. Kick and electric

    Post pics when you get it done, you're giving me ideas again. I thought about cutting up a Heritage style front fender to make it fit the skinny 21", but I don't know if I have the skills to make it look good. I guess there's one way to find out. :)

    Cool. The Street Glide fender should look good on there. That's the shape of fender I was after, but I was afraid it would be too wide for the skinny 21". I'm curious to see what it looks like. Post pics!!!
