2012 Fat Glide build
2012 Fat Glide build
My '12 FXDF has 1100 and a few mods, and more are on the way.
Currently running a Power Commander V, SE intake, and Vance & Hines Big Shots.
I have a Wide Glide rear Fender and chrome suppports waiting to be test fit, painted and installed along with a Burly Slammer kit.
My Harley is HD Orange, and I found that paint code *might* be Pantene 165C. I've crossed it to Sherwin Williams and I'm going to mix an ounce and spray a test card to verify.
There is also Harley Davidson Orange powder coating. That might be an interesting option.
A factory air cleaner mounted LA Choppers bottle opener is on the way, along with a Mustang Vintage Solo seat.
I'm shopping for a Fat Boy front fender and LED bulbs for the turn signals.
I"ll post more pics soon!

Nice bike, great color!
Edited post! Fat Boy front fender. Sorry 'bout that.
I like the wrap around tire design of the fender. I think it'll compliment the rear Wide Glide fender.
'10FatGlidin' has done the swap. I love his mods.
Other stuff too... I've swapped out the brushed metal band on the right side cover for the chrome band. I will also be smoothing and painting both side covers HD Orange. I can't decide if I'm going to paint the ABS cover too...

The Mustang seat arrived and I popped it on. Wow, nice seat, especially for $150.
Moving the stud for the seat screw was challenging. I ended up dropping the stud over a long zip tie and feeding up to the new location. Nice.
I swapped the rubber pads from the factory seat off the fender and onto their spots on the bottom of the same seat.
The seat put me back and down an inch or two. Nice. Just what I was looking for.
Pics pending.

The Sherwin mix of 165c for HD Orange is not right plus it's very transparent. I'll be dropping off the fenders and side covers to a body shop.
I used the Harley lift block kit on the frame. It works well with the cheap old jack I have. The jack is strapped to the forks, rear frame and the V&H bracket.
The Burly Slammer kit is in, nice easy install. The new fenders were test fit, and all parts are pulled that are getting painted.
I found out the Super Glide chrome fender covers will not work. They do not have a notch for the upper shock mount. They're going back. Black Wide Glide covers are ordered and will be shipped directly to the chrome shop.
Klock Werks adapters have great fit and finish, but I need 4 stainless nuts to attach them to the fenders.
Tank emblems are off, even though it doesn't show in the pics. The 2008 Road King Police badges are looking like a nice replacement. I might get some of the HD Orange paint and fill some of the recessed areas.
Things still needed... rear fender lip brake light, RBT controller, license plate holder, rear turn signal/sissy bar relocation...
