Default Fat Bob Progression

Changes so far are:
Rinehart 2-1 exhaust
Screaming eagle extreme-flow air cleaner
Dominion Hand grips, foot pegs, shifter peg, foot levers
Brass timing and derby covers.
Mustang seat
Long stem HD mirrors, no more shoulders blocking rear view.
Custom dynamics license plate relocation with taillight & turn signals, radius led license plate frame (deleted rear stockers, LOL, the following day I was complimented at stop light by Largo Fl police department officers specifically on the license plate setup and asked where I purchased the setup)
19 inch windows splitter windshield
Powervision tuner from Fuel Moto


Next up is a GPR Stabilizer that is in transit right now.

I’m loving this motorcycle, easily the best handling Harley I have ever ridden, its not perfect and everyone is different, for me the front tire is too wide, the front forks are under sprung, the rear shock needs to be longer to bring up the rear. I’ll address all in time and than I’ll throw some engine work at it.

Nice. Looks good. I've seen a lot of mention recently in regards to the GPR stabilizer's. What is the purpose of it?

Scratch that. Found a pretty in-depth explanation on the GPR site.

Love the look of these bars on your bike, I have been thinking about going with the same ones. The pictures are very helpful, but if you don’t mind me asking how tall are you (trying to get an idea where they might be in relation to my shoulder height)? Also, what length clutch cable and wire extensions did you go with?



Thanks!
