Default Get naked, and show me...

...your Fatboy or Heritage forks! I am trying to find out what the forks on a FatBoy or Heritage look like without the nacelle, cow bells, beer cans, and whatever other names people have for them.
My goal? Well, I want to put a set on my Standard. Love the look, and wanna put my eyes on the bare forks, and see how much fab work is gonna be involved.

..why not try Googling "Fatboy forks"?
Lotta pictures there, just in case nobody feels like running down to the garage and tearing their front ends apart just to get you a snapshot.

I DID do a GIS for Fatboy forks, as well as Heritage forks, forks without nacelle, without cans, cowbells, etc... I wasn't finding what I was looking for. I DID on the other hand, find out that "naked" and "fatboy" are words you never want together in an image search. The picture you posted is pretty close to what I'm after, I see that the nacelle may work, but the parts that are on top of the fork sliders- I don't know how they mount.

Now I'm thinking I might be able to put them on my standard forks... Time to experiment I guess.

To correctly mount them you simply need a set of FL triple trees...they do make conversion kits to mount them to FX trees.

Now thats some funny chit.
