Default 2008 Fatboy with new upgrades

I got my new Exhaust, wheels, rotors and pulley (sprocket) installed. Here are some new pics.



With the windshield and sissy bar.



With the new detachable saddle bags.....

Thanks for the compliments. You are right. I need to get rid of the reflectors. I think a Heat Gun will break them loose but how do I get rid of the sticky film? Thanks.

Looks Great. Which HD bags are those. Are they detachable, and did you have to relocate the turn signals. I have an 08, and I am toying with the idea of detachables.

Thanks guys..... I am very happy with the way that it turned out. I love it. I have no regrets.

Those are the HD Bags. Not the detachable bags. I bought the Barebacks System and instaleld them today. They are great. I highly recomend them.

There are cheaper and bigger bags out there. But I like the way these matched the bike. The were about $ 800.00 from HD then another $ 200.00 for the Barebacks.

I did not have to relocate the turn signals..... They did put a kit on themfor the rear sissy bar when I bought it.

My favorite is without the sissybar and winsshield too. That is how I ride by myself..... but when the wife rides with me I put the bags, sissy bar and winshield on. I love the detachable stuff.It isgreat.

Yeah I love the detachable sissy bar it takes two seconds to jerk the sissy bar and windshield off. It goes from a I am traveling across the country to a I have a cool bike in twenty seconds. Bike looks great!!

Drag some dental floss or fishing line behind those reflectors and they'll remove easily. The goo left behind will rub off with a little help from any of several products. (goo-gone, lighter fluid, carb cleaner, etc.). I was actually able to simply rub the stuff off with my hand and then a little "cleaning" with some carb spray.

Your bike looks great! The mods won't stop. I think you're a full-fledged addit now!
