Always better to ask and make damn sure before effin something up. I don't care how ignorant I seem. I will ask. I've learned a lot from asking folks on here.

Right now, I'm working on some mods to my 2013 Fatboy Lo - going to chop the rear fender to bob it, replace the rear brake/running light with LED (as well as side rear turns - the LED I'm getting has a center red and amber turns, single strip, that will mount under the rear lip)...

...however, I'm thinking about buying a used rear to chop down (would like to keep it under $200), in case I want to revert to "stock" sometime later.

Having a REALLY hard time finding one, though - anyone have a line on where to look (that I may have missed)? Been looking for a couple hours a day for the last few days, nothing seems to be popping on Craigslist, Ebay, etc. other than the RSD's and those are totally blank.

Anyone have their old stock rear they'd want to part with?

I'm sure that's probably a dumb question but despite everything I've had power coated over the last few years I'll admit I'm a little ignorant about how it's done. My main concern of course is it holding up under the heat. Speaking of which I emailed the powder pro guys and they asked what tuner I was using because they thought I might be running way too lean. I can maybe see that for the spot that is on the rear pipe but the other spot is on the rear pipe right underneath the oil tank and is probably from oil dripped while checking it. I've included a couple of pics of what i'm talking about. The tuner I'm using is a Power Vision with a base map from fuel moto and some tuning runs using the Power Vision itself. One last thing. Not that I need more ideas to spend money I don't have on the bike but, does anybody have any pics of a Lo with passing lamps and a memphis shaded bullet fairing. I kind of like the look and after my long trip down to Orlando I'd like the wind protection but most of the pics I've seen, including on this forums, are of bikes without passing lamps.

I used this to treat my exhaust welds for rust and stuff before I wrapped them, and surprislingly enough it almost matched the ceramic coated tip i had done.



..bad example because the paint was still wet when i took this picture, and I guess i deleted the one where it was dry. But like i said, if you're re-doing them anyways, give it a shot

Jim, what kind of prep work did you do before you painted it? Also how many coats?
