Very nice. I would definitely go with black pipes. That chrome sticks out a little too much. Get rid of that yellow reflector on the front tubes also..

Looks sharp, but then again I'm partial to Fat Bobs! I think if you blacked out the mufflers or just some parts of the exhaust it would look cool!

Looking good MADDOG! I agree with 2011FXDC that those chrome pipes stick out a bit too much, black heat shields would be killer!

How are you liking the Brawler seat? People tried to steer me away from it on my Fat Bob but I had mine designed with some art work through HD and found it very comfortable. I guess alot of people find it too small.




(Hope you don't mind me sharing the pic)

the seat is o.k .
ive only managed a quick 10 miles before i ran out of time , but i think its going to be fine
ill get a better idea 2moro ....i like the solo seat with the fender much better than the stock seat .

you can post away with pics on here guys , im open to any idea,s , and i dont mind steeling from others ,
im looking into the black heat shields in the morning .... more money ,
at this rate ill have to sell a kidney ...... or maybe just a kid....

JMO black out the rest of your exhaust! It just looks unfinished sorry again JMO! Def leave the wheels, bars, forks , juggs and console. The headlight bucket... yes black.

I like just the heat shield done with the mufflers chrome...it's a nice contrast but hey, it's your bike! I'd like to see it with the headlight bucket, the lower rocker covers, and the trees in black. Good work though!
