    I’m a little late but mate that’s an outstanding job. That paint is just right matching the black and chrome theme of the rest of the bike.

    I just picked up a 99 completely stock with 3200k miles and some SE slipons. the tank is off for wiring some 16 apes. and the fishtails are installed. that thinner belt/pulley conversion interests me. maybe I'll touch base with you later if you have the time and specs you used.
    ur bike looks sweet! hope you still have it. those evo's are awesome bikes. thanks for sharing👍

    I just ran across your video, great job brother. I’m getting ready to start a similar project on a 99 Heritage Softail Classic and I have a few questions for you if you don’t mind. Mainly about pulling apart that primary to swap the belt, if you had to go with a narrower belt to fit the 150 tire, are those dna wheels, did the 18” wheel throw of your speedo, the spacer kit info, what shocks you bought to lower the rear etc... Let me know if I can pick your brain a little bit maybe through email. Sorry for all the questions, you’ve done most of what I’m planning and needed to ask LOL. Thank you

    Sweet, huge improvement, nice beefy front forks, I hate forks with the ugly rubber boot plunger look. I lke springers but these are very beautiful. They can down talk Harley's for whatever reason they like but they would be hard pressed to find another bike that can be transformed into a work of art exhibiting it's grace and style like no other, which you have done here.

      Much appreciated Tracy sounds like u have a nice build going on...if ur looking for the wheels that are on my Fatboy or all the bikes I build I usually shop EBay just look for fat spoke or mammoth spoke u can pick how many spikes u want a lot or a little they also usually have them in all black or black and chrome or just chrome but as u see in the video of u wanna keep it kinda cheaper u will have to go with the 2000 and up and change out a few things but if ur willing to put out a little cash u can get them for the 95 if u need me to I can do a little hunting and send u links hope this helps

      width of the front tire was about the same as stock but 21 inch 170 20 21 tire size alot of them will just bolt right up but I had to change alot out because the front wheel was built for a 2000 and up fatboy so had to change rotors and bought a shim kit that had all the different sized shims then put the correct ones on and bolted it down was pretty easy hope this helps

    Good job! It looks great! I have a 93 Fatboy with drag bars and want to go with apes. If it's not asking too much, could you possibly tell me the lengths of the brake lines and cables that you used? It would help me to find out how much (aprox.) money I need to order them. If it's not something easy to do, it's ok, don't worry about it.
