Great looking bike, with lots of add-ons. After paying for the bike, which is really the down payment on the accessories, they add up quick don't they?

What's a saree guard?

Also what is the black plate on your ventilator?

Saree is a traditional garment worn by Women in India, kinda like a dress and a robe in the same thing. My Ex Fiancee was Indian and she had one.
Saree guard is a set of cages that go over the rear wheel to protect from clothing(mostly women's Sarees) from getting caught in the wheel spokes.



The Fat Boy in this video has a set of Saree guards on it.

Thanks @iHoder.

I changed stock ventilator air cleaner kit with Screamn Eagle Extreme Ventilator Air Cleaner (P/N 29400396). The black part was rain sock around Air Filter element.

Deluxe left size cover will fit Fatboy. But right side cover of Deluxe does not fit on Fat Boy, since Deluxe does not have rear shock adjuster.

do you have a close up pic? I want to see how flush they are, and what part of the head they cover.

Appreciate it.

Hows the quality?
