Thaghost, thx for the compliment bro. The license plate bracket is a Derby cover license mount. I it's a Bikers choice but there are a few companies that make it. My buddy has the same one but in the dia believe mond light shape. It's clear with red leds and one blue led in the middle. Its pretty cool if u like those red/blue old school bomber car lights. My rear fender is custom fabbed. It was done by my buddy who owns a very small shop in East Los. If u ask me, the extended fenders should come stock with deluxes or even an upgraded option. It completes the look of these bikes

What he said.

I just dig how the Gangsters come up and out. They go in line with the forks and then push out. You cant go wrong with anything Carlini makes. Their Piston risers are Bad *** too. They will even send you replacement Rubbers if you ever run out. Thats cool as hell in my book.

Lads,

Would you recommend 1.25 or 1.5 for a Fat Boy Lo?

PS. I am thinking about 14" flying apes.

1.5" for sure, in my opinion they just fit with the FL front ends.

Here's a few pictures of my 05 Fatboy with 16" Flying apes at 1.5" dia.
