RE: New 2008 Fat Bob owner
I'm another new boy ! 
Picked mine up last week . Denim black with mid controls . Brilliant so far even with the running in { UK dealer says up to 60 for the first 500 miles and then up to 70 for the next 500 [:@]
Have put black shrouds on the top part of the forks which I think looks cool and want to change rear fender but don't know what with , maybe solo seat / rack and wrap around style ...... Anyone got any pics of a dyna with this sort of back end ?
Also will drill out front fender to get it close to tire.
Wife says I'm never happy ......
Don't know how to post pics yet but will get there .... Any advice welcome
Great Forum !!!

First ride in this morning, before I hit the first mile a two car collision right in front of me. Woah!

So new, hard to say; the front brakes are very strong (dual disc), but then again this is the first Harley I've owned. I haven't been able to really test out the cornering either - only been 30 miles and mostly in the < 50 speed zone. Overall the bike feels very solid in the power band, braking and handling.

Where are you going to be taking the pics this weekend, weather is supposed to be good. I am stationed at Belvoir and also bought my Wide glide from Patriot.
