Default Fat Bagger in progress

Just hung the bags on my Fat Boy. I will be painting the bags next week. What do you guys think? I am going to paint the bags Vivid Black but thought about where the red stripe is making it a blue and silver stripe like on the fender.
Opinions?

Default Pics of my fatbagga

Nice looking bike i love the look of the fatboy with bags. I installed the bags on mine but i wanted to fill in the gap between the bottom of the bags and the ground so i molded a set of baddad bag extensions and installed a baddad stretched rear fender to fill the gap between the bags and rear fender. Now i have to paint it to match the graphics. I also installed the 21" front wheel and love the ride. I'm getting ready to install a set of 16" apes,i have the heritage bars on it now but the amount of pull back isn't right it hurts my wrist on long rides.people love the bike they just can't belive it's a fatboy. Keep up the good work.

I love the bags but your profile pic is off a bit. Is it me or does the lines of the bottom of the tank toward the seat just look off. Maybe raise the tank a couple of inches in the front. Make it flow a bit better to the eye.

Looks good brotha! I need to get some hard bags for mine, of course I don't have the money so I will probably fab some up myself, which means TIME TIME TIME, I am sue it will take several attemps before I get the shape right. Be sure to post some pics when it's finished.

FATBAGGA- that fender with your bags looks killer. Nicely done.

Nice! What fairing are you guys running?

I am slowing turning my 98 fatty into a fatbagger. I have the bags, am going to get a fairing and maybe a 21" front wheel with a new fender this winter.

Looks good. I'm contiplating the transformation myself because I all ready own the fatty and a new street glide isn't in the cards. Picked up and older batwing and 7" shield on flea-bay for $63 plus shipping. If you stripe to match fender try masking the general shape stand back and take a look. If you like what you see go for it.
Cheers and remember for every mile of road there is two miles of ditch.

Looks good. I'm ready to see someone on the forum mount a Road Glide fairing on a fatboy, instead of a batwing style fairing.
