LandShark,
 I really liked you Bike! Very Nice! I liked it so much it inspired me to put a 49mm front end on my FXR4 CVO. It will be on the bike by end of August and I will post pics.
My bike is a 2000 but I think it will be nice. Thanks for the insperation! Wife is mad I spent alot of money but if she was not mad for this then it would have been something else.The paint job is Awesome! How is the FatBob headlight at night? Is it less than the 7" but more than the 5 3/4" lights? That is two 4" reflectors correct? Does it use two 50/55 watt bulbs? How many amps is your lighting fuse? How does it handle in town? Highway speeds 75 plus?
Thanks,
Ltank

Thank you for the nice comments.  As to the lights, they look like two H4 bulbs.  I would expect them to be 50/55W.  They seem to work fine and I don't have any problem the vision at night.  I used to run 55/100 H4s in all my bikes but I have been unable to find them lately.  I don't believe these twin headlights produce any more than a really good single headlight.  I like the looks of the twin headlights on this bike since they fit the width of the forks.  Good luck and please post some pictures when you finish.

I ordered them directly from Works who made them just for me with a weight of 180, no passenger, and sport riding.  They suggest they be 12 5/8 in length for the proper length for the dual rate springs.  When I sit on the bike the ride height is perfect.  I couldn't be more pleased.  Quick turn around and they work just as expected.  Their customer service is great.
