Default More chrome for a Fat Bob
I am thinking about getting a Fat Bob, I have read a lot of good reviews on how it handles and rides. I am not into the black out look and would like a little more chrome on the engine. I was thinking about having the Chrome Engine Kit for Twin Cam-Equipped Dyna Models added. Has anyone had or seen this done?

I have a SG but I added the Chrome engine kit to mine. I got the kit online for around $550 and it took me a couple afternoons to install it all. Most of it is pretty easy it can just get frustrating getting to some bolts. The lower Rocker covers and tappet covers are really the only semi hard install. To see what the black motor looks like with the kit just check out a Low Rider it has the black motor and comes stock with the chrome engine kit.

Adding chrome is easy on a Harley lol

How mine started



How it looks now

There's lots of addons and other chrome accessories that you can get on the bike. Its like any other Dyna, most parts should fit.
