Default Fat Bob Resurrection

Some people here may know that I crashed my Fat Bob back in April. While, my spleen took most of the damage, the bike needed quite a bit of work. Here are the results of many hours in the garage by me and some help from Scott at North Jersey Customs.

The paint is actually a rattle can job with truck bed liner and, much to my surprise, came out pretty flawless.

Good Job!

Thanks guys. It is a damn near perfect match for the black denim paint, only this one is slightly textured. The spleen is nearly back to new, the docs don't want me riding just yet, but what do they know? I figure I will stick to short trips until i get the all clear.
