Why the harley harley don't do a 3 inch board or peg kit for a fatty is beyond me mate its ridiculous. Boards may stick out too far? But I know fact that pegs work. Fatboy board to peg kit and breakout 3 inch foward kit together , the fatboy board to peg kit bolts straight to the breakout 3 inch plate so I would say the boards will too. Hope that helps

But you ankles might be on a weird angle with flat boards out so far man. Honestly the pegs are amazing.
3 inch foward pegs and 2 inch back with a HD tallboy seat its good. I'm 6'4
thanks for the info.... do you have abs ? Did you do the move on the master cylinder yourself or have the dealer do it ?

Is that a turbine wheel I see ? Is it factory fat boy width ?


thanks

Thats coming along quite nicely. Are you gonna get the peg stand that lets you park the bike without a kickstand, and do the front end too?

2nd question for anyone here, Can anyone find the thread that was posted I think here of the huge big wheel fat boy wheels. Same scalopped lakerster style but they were i think 23inch diameter.

I don't usually care for the looks of the tufted seats but on your bike it looks great. Your whole bike is looking good for that matter. Carry on!
