As much as I like the no pinstripe, basic look of the Street Glides paint and fenders, I think sometimes it looks just a tad too basic. I think your fender addition might really be the ticket, but it's hard to tell the overall look from the small pic. Can you post another pic of the entire bike with it on?

Nice job!
A buddy of mine just put one of those skirts on his RK Custom.
Looks pretty good!

I like the plain front fender better, myself. I just spent $158 on a new S.G. fender for my FLHRI. If I put anything on it it will be painted flames!! But that's just me.....just my -2$en#e-

The clean uncluttered look is what drew me to the Street Glide. Actually it was the RK Custom that first drew my attention. I went to the dealer to buy a RK Custom and left with a Street Glide since it had the same clean look plus the fairing. I guess each to their own. This is my first Harley. I always loved the looks of them but I was not too crazy about the chrome bits and pieces on the fenders. If I ever do anything to the fender it will be a custom paint job along with the gas tank.trex_47e said:
I see you have added mirrors to your bike. Did you have a problem with the fairing mounted mirrors? I had my inner fairing replaced under the recall because of the incorrect mirror mounting. They are better now but I'm still not crazy about the reduced rear view compared to handlebar mounted mirrors. It's a shame because I like the concept but the function stinks. I may eventually go with handlebar mounted mirrors too.

I replaced the faring mounted mirrors because of the Wild1 Chubby bars I put on. The new bars came up and out from stock bars, which gave me a great view of my knuckles. So I went with handlebar mounted mirrors, which gave me greater visibility too.Alpha_Biker said:

I checked out your photo album. I didn't notice the handlebars. You sure have done quite a lot to your bike. It looks great. I have made a few changes also. You can't tell by my sig-pic. I took that picture the day I bought it. I promised myself I wasn't going to go crazy with upgrades and additions on this bike as I did on some of my others. But you know how that goestrex_47e said:
. Before I had my inner fairing replaced all I could see in the mirrors was my hands. Now with the new fairing and the mirrors repositioned I only see about a third of my hand. Still unacceptable to me. I'm constantly moving my head around while riding to check traffic behind me. Other than that this is the best bike I have ever owned.eddie
