RE: Fat Bob Black Parts
I've added black along with chrome. Are you looking for a black exhaust set up? I black ceramic coated the header pipe to bring out more black in the tommy gun slats and added the Rush mufflers cause I liked the stock look but needed more sound.

RE: Fat Bob Black Parts
If you are going black, then don't forget a set of hottoppers to get rid of those cheap looking bolts....

RE: Fat Bob Black Parts
dont get samsons, theyre junk... six months on the bike and five welds holding heat shield broke 3 on one pipe 2 on the other causing me to pop like gun shots and shoot 1 foot flames out em, which looked pretty cool. i cut the heat shields off and saw all the holes , welded em all and then jus heat wrapped the pipes rather then reattache the shields. 6 months later on my way out west the bracket on the pipe bent from heat an vibration most likley and caused the carriage bolt to not be able to stay tight and hold the pipe in place on the bracket and the vibration snapped the pipe right up at head..
samsons are crap cheap pipes, poor craftsmanship and performance

Ok, no Samsons it is. Packetjunie thanks for the reminder on the Hottoppers. I have been looking for just black bolts...this is much better, little pricey for the whole kit, but whatre you gonna do right?

RE: Fat Bob Black Parts
Give them a call, Bob at HotToppers is very helpful and worked with me on finding all the pieces I needed. I used a few chrome topped pieces (on the heads) and the rest black. I have alot of leftover parts having bought the bigger package. It's a little bit of work getting all the right parts since there isn't a Fat Bob specific box set, but I think it does make it look much cleaner.

I went with the Python Baloney Cut slip-ons for now... really surprised with the quality of the sound for the money. Not too loud at idle, but really deep and throaty when you give it a little gas. Good option if you want to put some money towards other cosmetics and you cant afford the whole enchilada at once (like me!).
