<>I finally got “The Meanest” to send you these photos of the front endchange we performed on my Super Glide. First, a little background onthe bike. I bought it in March of this year at the dealership whereI work, Harley-Davidson of Charlotte. It was a consignment bike, Igot a real good price on it when you consider the engine has the 1550kit, S.E. 211 cams, S & S carb and the heads have been worked. Weput it on the dyno the week I got it and it put out 89.8hp and 91.5torque. Not bad!
I also like the all-black engine. The hp is up a little more now,with the addition of a Vance & Hines pro pipe.
I never could getused to the look of the front end, so I decided to put a wide glidefront end on it. I wanted to keep the dual disc set-up to add to thehot-rod look. The front end kit is from Tedd’s V-Twin and it boltedright on with no problems. I added the black center floating disc onthe front and rear of the bike to accent the all-black drive line. Ialso added the 21″ Thunderstar, black and polished front wheel.
The bike feels like a whole new bike with this setup. I wantedto keep everything black or polished since the bike has very littlechrome. I am still working on cleaning up the turn signals and a fewother things. Right now it’s a work in progress. I really like theway it feels, and I have always loved the power of the engine.
