Take it as you must. Just wanted to see what you did that you feel improved the Fat Bob.

Then next time, don't pull the bullshit 'no disrespect' card, then go on to insult me in the same breath...

Happy Friday!
Here’s a semi current photo of mine.



Below is a list of add ons.

Avon Memory Foam Anodized Medium - Grips
Harley long stem mirrors
Rienhart slip ons
Vance and Hines FP3
PSR Adjustable levers
Lucky Dave - lucky 13 bar - 11” rise
Saddlemen Speed Merchant seat
Memphis Shades Hand Guards
San Diego Customs bar bag
Custom Dynamics LED’s

Photo was taken before I added the hand guards.

The bars are awesome. More comfortable on my back and turns in a lot quicker and with less effort.

The seat is pretty much the same comfort as stock. Not as cooshy but not hard either. Looks cleaner in my opinion and you don’t see many (if any) on the road.

The slip ons are just right. Not loud at idle but sounds like a v8 muscle car when you get on the throttle.

Have a great weekend and ride safe.

Question for those running the Vance & Hines Hi-Output slip-on mufflers.....has anyone had the opportunity to compare the supplied with the mufflers open baffles to the optional quiet(er) baffles? The quiet(er) baffles are on back order till the end of March/early April but I pulled the baffles that came with the mufflers and they have batting wrapped around the inner perforated pipe. Not sure how much of a difference the optional baffles will offer.

A beautiful M8 Fat Bob installation with black factory turn signal standoffs. Our optimized Fat Bob design is now 25% stiffer than the original. Kits are available for the M8 Fat Bob, Street Bob and Slim. Ride safe.
