LINE-X Fatbob

I just purchased a new 2013 fatbob as I wanted an everyday driver bike to go back and fourth to work on. I also have a CVO Ultra it a little bulky sometimes especially around town.

I liked the denim black and the big front tire and being a 2103 they wanted to get rid of it. After riding it home I was not happy with the paint. All you could see was fingerprints and fine scratches from my jeans on the tank. I took all of the tins off and had them line-x coated. I think it turned out great.

I also relocated the front turn signals.
Installed LED's all around.
Installed black rear shocks and black headlight trim ring of a 2014
Added solo bag to left side with hidden mount.

Not my style but I like the functionality. I stopped worrying about scratches as long as they aren't deep. Where at in Virginia?

Love it!

I thought about doing the same thing before my current paint job. Yours turned out better than I imagined it would have.

Well done.

Knew a guy that did the same thing to his brand new FLHTCU.

It looks great. Does it scuff or scratch easily?

Reading the thread title I was a little skeptical, but after seeing your pictures I must say that is bad ***! That looks awesome! Nice job.

looks way better tan I imagined it would, your Linex guy is a real artist to be able to get such a smooth and even coverage. Best part is your tins are now bomb proof
