D&D exhaust out of Texas, 124 motors, stock FXR frames heavily modified for a trans with oil pan, Dyna mids, shock relocation, and engine clearance. Forged Marchesini rear 17", Brembo brakes, Metmachex swing arm, Works custom suspension built to spec, cush drive sprockets and spherical bearings in the pivots. They are what Harley could easily build, they have similar parts in the proper configuration or at least in pocket, they still have Buell's FXR frame and have played with it in the CVO, they have inverted Marzocchi's in the accesory catalog, dual headlights on something, a twin cam fits in, and aluminum swingarms on the euro sport....but they didn't go this way, they always went that other way.....towards nostalgia based in hype.
The bikes are a total hoot up here in the mountians, once you get past the bulldog looks.  Right at 490lbs so they are heavy, but not too heavy. The power is usable once you get the hang, and you can drift them thru turns for some willies.

Nice setup. Everthing works together and I'm sure they're a blast to ride. That's the way they should be.
"Nostalgia based in hype" is an understatement when you mention Harley. Springers, big fat front ends and headlights, and ornamental instead of functional components are just the beginning.
