Harley Quinn and Joker ‘Mad Love’. I really like the design but as its small the fine detail is hard to see from a distance. Would be great as a derby cover size.

Default A German Fat Boy

Hello again from the newbie here. That’s my bike. What’s done so far: changed air filter to SE, SE street cannons without mufflers, side plate, Avon grips, LED at back, LED at front (not shown), Derby Cover and a handmade custom leather seat (some inches back and deeper).

Upcoming: Front fender Steel from “Ricks”, insert for ventilator (my topic i am looking for), 4 inch risers tryouts before maybe an ape (which one in 14?) to have more comfort. Foreward controls to change is to much work and these kinds of rests are a symbol for the fat boy imho. And: maybe the back fender from the breakout - shorter.

comments, questions or anything else: feel free

Nice, first 131" I've seen with the Rinehart exhaust.
What is the build on your 131"?

I'm also interested in what sissy bar bags you guys like on this bike. I don't want a wide profile, or something really big .and leather doesn't fare well here in Hawaii. I just need to be able to carry groceries home for the wife ( excuse to ride to the store
Mahalo!
They will replace the fuel cap under some sort of warranty. Mine was past the two year mark when it started to rattle. It got replaced free and clear.

It's just the Screamin' Eagle 131" kit out of the box. I have the Rinehart exhaust and FP3 tuner. Looking at a Cycle-Rama CR512 cam that I'll put in myself once I gather all the parts together.
