FatBob: Phase #3 - work in progress
Its only been a few days and I miss my bike already. Just thought Id share a sneak peak of the work being done. Forks are being upgraded, wheels and triple trees are being powder coated, 5k service is scheduled, and a few more upgrades are planned.
Theres a specific part(s) on special order that Im really hoping turns up this week; it will hold things up if it doesnt arrive -- fingers crossed it gets here, cause I really want to ride this weekend

Yes, planning on powdercoating the band on the battery box, and the chrome strip on the opposite side. Have black aftermarket progressive shocks on the way as well. Coating the turn signal housings. The front end, like it as is.......except..
With the new shocks being 0.6 inch longer than the stock Fat Bob shock, going to put a .6 inch spacer in the front end as well.
More lean angle available. The bike is a fairly capable cornering beast for a cruiser, just want to improve it by getting the pegs a little higher. The ends of the pegs are half ground down already.
