how fast does a Fat-*** Bagger really need to be, anyway?
Fast enough were it's fat *** is flapping in the wind while on the rear fender of a softail, can't settle for normal.

NGHawg, I got laughing about your wives bike and the stereo on yours, you do know that 800 watts pulls 36 horsepower to operate, next time she jumps on you, turn the stereo off and it will be like nitrous oxide kicking in and sing while your blowing by her, she won't know your wildcard unless your a horrible singer.

Damn! What a great idea! The amp switches are mounted down on each side cover though... maybe I should move them up to a single pushbutton switch near the handgrips. That way, I could turn ON the afterburner by turning OFF the amps with a single push!

That would work... I'm a pretty fair singer... I was actually a music major (though not a voicer) in college on scholarship for three years - before I got smart, sold out, and switched to Computer Science to make a decent living. If I had stayed with music, I probably would have ended up in some Southern Rock band playing drums in craphole bars every night... or even worse, TEACHING... and could never have afforded a Harley!

Here's the cover photo as a teaser... Note the heavy-duty springer front end with 3x4 front forks!

Im still debating on which to use. I currently run a primo brute IV on my s&s 111 and its been bullet proof but pricey. Ive been checking around and see some cheapo ones can be had for under 800 but im weary so I think im gonna go with the primo brute extreme, its the same size but single plate design and some of the parts are from overseas. considering im gonna run just a 80incher on the CFL im thinking it should hold up. got any thoughts or recommendations?
