Chrome Extras for Fatbob -which theme?
I have been thinking about getting some custom chrome extras on the new bike before it arrives to make it a little individual but cannot make my mind up on what "theme" to go for if you know what I mean - Should I go with ***** Skull? Or Flames? Any help you guys and suggestions - Just want to make the bike a little different from the standard bike without goingover the top with the wrong theme-

Congrats on the new Fat Bob, but if it's completely stock right now the first thing I would get would be a new exhaust, I really like the Vance & Hines Sideshots and you don't see too many bikes with that exhaust.

Jake is right. I had them on a bike for a while. They look great.

I am between the v+h side shots and big radius but concerned they maybe too loud for longer journeys - Its more the smaller details I would like to try improve on than the standard bike - I will change over time anyway bit there are 3 of us getting the same bikes so I just want to make sure mine is a little different

Individuality, I mean the real one, will cost you.
Do yourself a favor and don't put any "live to ride" crap on a perfectly good bike, and remember, chrome won't bring you home. Neither does black. But a good exhaust, a stage 1 or such will do bring you home faster, a good seat and a set of handlebars will do it more comfortably. Better shocks and better forksprings will do it more safely. And first of all: more chrome=more cleaning=less time to ride.

I had considered the following -
Heated Skull grips-
Billet style brake lever
Billet style shift lever
LED skull fuel guage
skull fuel cap
Mirrors
Derby covers
Skull brake and clutch levers
Chin Spoiler in denim black
+ possibly v+h exhaust
Am I missing something that maybe would look great?
Now I am not at the moment that good at working on bikes but certain stuff its cheaper to buy online such as mirros etc that can easily be changed but some stuff I will need to get the dealer to do due t me having no equipment or not knowing really how to do same-

Seem's like you are going the skull theme. It's a bad *** look, nothing wrong with it. I went with some live to ride derby cover's and timing covers. I think Red Hot Sunglo look's good with a touch of gold. Flush mount gas cap's give my bike a clean look, I think the stock gas cap's are ugly.
Black and chrome look good together, get more chrome. Search around for photos in the Fatbob squadron, in the Dyna section.
First things I changed was exhaust and that ugly tailight. Have fun.
