Re:My Star Glide 5 Years, 12 Months ago  
Your bike looks great Dennis. Where else are the mounting points for the fairing, beside the highway bar?

Also love the bags. Are they Roayal star bags?

The E.D. Low Rider Seat looks good as well, hope your enjoying it. I like how you kept the corbin pillion pad behind the seat.

If you get a chance would you mind sending me some photos of your bike to use on the E.D. website?

First one I've seen with a frame mounted fairing. Great job!! That's beautiful! These bikes look good set up as road/street glides. Love it. You...fireman and a few others have built some fine R*'s. If I could only make up my mind to do her up,or strip her down....

Re:My Star Glide 5 Years, 12 Months ago  
Thanks for the compliments guys, it's been a project of patience that I have planned since last summer...planning, fabbing, painting and hoarding of possible parts needed.

This project has gone very smooth so far, including the full Stage III (FI bikes go Stage III -- Carb bikes go to Stage IV) upgrade of the engine. I plan on starting the install of speakers, radio, J&M intercom CB system.

I have the rear set up using a RS Venture Tour Pack Mount, so I should be able to go from Road Glide to Street Glide in about 15 minutes, that basically bolting the rear passenger seat and trunk on.

I have the frame mounting bracket set up so there in no drilling in the stock neck, you are able to retain your fork bells for a better looking appearance.

I am waiting on a new set of bars to get here, I want to do so internal wiring clean the front end up a little. though it does look very good now.

I will post some more pics when I get the electronics in, so you can see it from the drivers perspective.

I have made 2 extra frame mount brackets, so if there are any brave ones out there give me a shout!
