Default Fatboy Nacelle Questions

For those of you that have the chrome Nacelle (looks like the Road King's), did you just buy the upper and lower fork sliders seperately? I was looking at buying the FL Chrome Front End kit for my Fatboy and am leaning towards the Nacelle instead. Just wondering if you guys bought the other sliders individually? Also, does the Nacelle cover the current handle bar clamp?

thanks

I bought the entire thing Warg, this is, I did not purchased the sliders separately. I only replaced the headlamp/nacelle for the stock headlamp.

Yes, the nacelle comes with a chromed "cup" that covers the handlebar clamp. Chek out my gallery, there are several view angles.

Mimo.

I replaced the bells and forks with chrome first, and came back a year later and replaced the tins with the nacelle

chops, I see there are two bullet lights on the right of the headlight. I assume one is a turn signal. Is the other an additional light like on a light bar? If so, where did you get the bullet style lights for the light bar? I am also considering adding a light bar when I do the forks, and would like the bullet style lights better.

Warg those are Headwinds spots on a Headwinds billet light bar.

I originally had the HD light bar and big HD 4" spots for a while, but the light bar started rusting around the welds, so it all had to go.

Even though the spots are small, they are super bright.
The cool thing about the spots, you can buy replacements (about $5.00) at Home Depot, in various wattages. I have 35w in mine which are very bright, but they sell them in 50w also, which is above my comfort level for an overallcurrent draw budget.

I really like that they are some small compared to the HD set. Thanks, I will look into them.

Warg,
When we going riding? You didn't take the bait in your "opinions wanted poll."

Hey man, I just read the post in the other thread, that's funny. Just so you know, I have decided to keep it chrome. I just couldn't pull the trigger on the little black dress.

We do need to go riding, I want to check out the nightster.

I have an 1993 fatboy with the whole nacelle set up and having problems finding a light bar that fits, stealership couldn't help, I did order one online from Iron Horse but that was wrong and it took me a month to get a refund from them. any ideas who else might make one???
