I have a '11 white denim Fat Bob, I am trying to black it out as the time goes. I think the white/black contrast is going to be sweeeettt!

Welcome and congrats on the new bike. I went with the pewter as well, only mine isn't denim, it's pearl.

It's a good thing you got such a good deal on that thing too, because something tells me that meager list of planned mods will somehow grow into a much longer list... I know it has for the rest of us! Haha!

it would also look sweet with some scotch bright brushed aluminum look to some of the chrome. It would match the tins.

I rarely have the windshield on mine but if you are looking for one I think the Memphis Shades Rio Grande shield looks decent on it.



Are you planning on blacking out the fork bottoms? I did mine a couple months ago and love it. Didn't use plasti dip but that actually sounds pretty cool from what I have read on here.
