Default Fat Bob subtle changes

Made a few changes to my Fat Bob and thought I would share.

2" spacers added on my risers
2.5" tank lift
4" oval Cycle Shack slip-ons and decated the header
new foot pegs
next mod. Ditch the stock rear fender in favor of a Wide Glide rear fender and
adding some 11" Progressive shocks on the rear.

Going to get up early and put about 200 miles on it tomorrow to see how it feels. Got to love South Florida! Going to be in the 70's all day. Perfect riding weather.
Thanks for looking.

How was your ride? You like all the changes? I am betting those Cycle Shacks sound good, especially with the cat gone.

Looks good. Taller risers made a big difference. I love mine. Let us know how the ride was.

I have not picked up my 2012 Fat Bob yet, I will in a few weeks when I get home from playing in the sand box. I was thinking about getting taller risers as well. Which ones do y'all have and how are they?
