Flyboy's Fat Bob Build

I left my switch chrome. My speedo/tach has a chrome bezel so it doesn't look too bad. There is a guy on here, PowderPro, that will take apart the switch and coat it for you. I don't have any pics of mine.

Ordered a few parts tonight:
Rocket Bob's Voodoo rear fender (raw metal, extended)
Denali Soundbomb mini horn (current horn doesn't even work!)
Kuryakyn Iso Grips
Update on the predator mount:
Seems to have helped a little bit. Bike still has noticeable vibration, but read on...
Update on my suspension:
I've mentioned that the suspension on this bike feels like crap. Well, I don't know how I missed it before, but the front tire is cupped/scalloped (uneven tread wear). The center-most portion of the front tire tread has very uneven wear, with the tread "sections" wearing higher or lower than the section next to it.
This would definitely contribute to the vibration.
But the cause of the scalloping / cupping? This page has some suggestions, but it could be related to the front forks / springs.
So, I'm thinking I should replace the springs sooner than later, and the tire too. I need to research on the forum if there is serviceable shock oil in the front fork and how to adjust them.
Heading out to the garage now to blast some AC/DC and pull off chrome parts to send off for powder coating ... I'm overly optimistic, but would like to get them all off tonight and take them in tomorrow. I know, probably a many-hour job, but I'll give it a shot.
