Yeah I've had a few people say that I should remove the tank lift. The reason I like it is because it makes the tank follow the line from the seat bucket all the way forward. I've always thought that the stock height on the Fat Bob tank looked weird.

Here's a couple better pics. I'm still waiting on a real nice sunny day to get some pics where the chrome really pops. On a side note, I'm glad I got the trim ring for the headlight. It seems like the point that the fender comes to in the rear and the point the headlight eyebrow comes to in the front makes it all flow really well.

Strut cover question

Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely reference this when I start to do the install.

Yeah after I saw your bike lowered I couldn't wait, especially after I found out that the strut covers from a low rider/super glide would fit. They're chrome and were actually cheaper than the black ones so the project suddenly became affordable lol. Thanks for the inspiration. If I hadn't seen those pics you posted I probably wouldn't have ordered all the parts yesterday haha. Cheers!!!

I know this is an old threat but, would you be able to tell me which strut covers work for the fender change? I see you said that low rider/super glide ones will fit. Do you have the part number for these. I have a 2010 fat bob and I'm getting all the parts I need for the wide glide fender change.
