Actually, after I try both the wide glide and fat bob trees on my bike to see which one I prefer. I am lowering the rear with 1.75 lowering blocks and painting the rear coils on the shocks with satin black epoxy paint.

Then I have a few small parts, projects to install.

Liquidate some stock and unwanted parts on Ebay...

Headlight is definitely on the agenda!

Just put the Progressive fork springs (standard length) in my '14 Fat Bob. What a huge difference. No more extreme front end dive on braking, bike tracks more solidly, handles road irregularities much better than the stock springs.

Next week putting on the 444 rear shocks, 12.5", can't wait.

I did similar upgrades to my '06 XL1200R and it became a much better handling machine-looks like I'm on my way to the same happy ride with this bike.

Port the heads and mill them down .050 to increase the compression ratio. After that, save up for a custom paint job and new rims.

To run Auto Tune on my PV and see if I can get back some of my fuel mileage after loading a new tune a few months ago. Went from 42mpg no matter how I rode down to 30 if I can control my wrist. Runs like a scalded dog and pull the front wheel shifting to third, but I need better range from a tank of fuel!
