Default Chrome Frontend or D&D Fat Cat?

Getting ready to spend about $800.00 so it either a new frontend or Fat Cat. Any and all opinions are welcome. I will eventually get both, so it's not an either/or situation, it's just what comes first.

thanks

Front end. You already have a great looking set of pipes, that Im sure sound great. With that being said, Im changing the pipes on my Fatboy to V&H softail duals

You too, congratulations, you are the only other bike I've ever seen (online or in person) with the hatchets. Your bike is sick, I'm in good company.

Yeah, I just saw his pic, the forks really set it off.

I just did both to my Deluxe. Here is a thread that I started with some pics. If this link works and you look at the pics excuse the dirty bike.

I really like the Fat Cat. Sounds real gud and the bike runs like a scalded dog. Also did a fuel pack from Vance & Hines. I guess this is a long way of saying that if I had to choose one I would go with the pipes. You get the bling, the sound and theperformance IMO.

Thanks for the props.

Yeah I should have done it earlier. It was a big improvement over whatever color that was stock.

I agree with the other guys, do the front forks, you already have some nice looking pipes.
The front end seems like a suttle thing but it really helps.
