Would love to have the wheels that the FatBoy Lo has stock. Have grown to hate the stock rims that came on the Fat Bob. Is it just me, or are the rim a total PIA to clean with the dual discs in front, and the back wheel is hard as hell to clean also.

All Harley's should come with forwards standard. It is usually the first mod for most riders. Glad i got a Softail so i don't have to worry about it anymore...

Locking hardbags. Detachable windshield, forward boards, and seat from the superglide.

I'll second different rims The money I was saving for stage one ended up going to powder coat the wheels that were pitting and corroding from the brake dust.

Other than that slightly taller risers would be nice or the bars from the CVO version would be even better.

Rear fender for sure... next would be the seat. My brawler solo shipped today. Can't wait to get it.

Well if I just have to pick one it'd be the exhaust. It runs right along my leg and is extremely hot and it's way too quiet, got a set of V&H Big Radius 2-2 Black on order. Also, I hate the orange turn signals and signals on the bars. First thing I changed.

I'm not quite sure why everyone complains about having a bobtail fender on a "fat bob"

I like the FatBob dual disc, fenders, seat, bars and headlight.

You forward control guys crack me up! You think you look cool sailing down the highway all stretched out. Till you hit a bottle necked toll plaza, tunnel or stop and go traffic. Then your just a disjointed mess. Every one knows that only the hardcore rock mid controls!

Absolutely LOVED that I had the option for mid controls back in '09. The only way to be able to really somewhat aggressively ride the beast (moving body around) in twisties which the beast performs remarkably well on.

What would I change... get rid of that damn ducktail and go with the Superglide fender....they got the Fat Bob eshaust after all.
Go with Brembo brakes.
