Woh!! Haven't seen this post since early February

ORIGINAL: Shizims

Bike is looking good! The flush fuel caps look sweet! They just moved up on my to-do list. How did you manage the rear axle nut covers? They look like the classic chrome from HD, but I know from experience those don't fit. How difficult is it to switch the hand grips? How do those black diamond grips feel?
Yes those are the classic chrome covers but they are available and have been since around January for our Fat Bobs. Here is the link:

Another new thing on the bike is this speedo/tach. I just don't have pics on the bike yet since I put it on yesterday.

I'm loving the rocker boxes. Definitely wanting to do that mod on mine. The speedo/tach is perfect! Nice job!

I was thinking of getting that speedo. Does it retain the clock?

Unfortunately no. That was one of the things I wish it still had. I'm over it though.

Very nice DB, looking real good! I'mplanning a lot of the same mods you have. You're a bit further along though, so it's good to see what they'll look like.

Sorry, forgot to answer about the grips question. Very easy to put on/change....pretty much nothing else to say about that. They feel good on the hands with or without glovesand when I turn on the heater (if needed)for the grips they are oh so nice.
