Best catelog for mods?
I'm a new, first time motorcycle owner, 2011 Fat Boy Lo.
I've been looking at all the mods people are doing and want to get in on some of those. I bought the Service Manual and the Parts Catalog. However, the Parts Catalog seems to be limited to stock parts for the stock bike. That doesn't do me much good. Besides, the drawings don't really get your blood pumping.
Does Harley print a hard copy catalog of all the non-stock stuff they sell that will fit my bike? With pictures? If so, is it specific to my model or is it general to all Harleys where I have to parse what will and will not fit my bike?
As to non-Harley parts, I got a J&P Cycles Parts and Accessories Catalog. Is that pretty good, or is there a better, more comprehensive Catalog I should have so I can start dreaming and pricing and putting together some changes?
Sorry if these are stupid questions. I'd spend more time asking the dealer but I'm in the sticks and this what this forum is for, right, asking questions, right?
Thanks, a newbee.

http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/common/Frontpage.jsp, http://www.dragspecialties.com/. Here's two of them that I get, or I just go on-line and look for what I'm interested in. Since you just bought your Harley, you'll be getting smaller catalogs relatively often that show they're new parts/motorclothes etc... They will list stuff for all models, so you'll have to look and see if whatever specific part you're looking at will work for your bike. If you do it on-line through Harley, you can look up parts that are specific for your model.

The Harley parts book is still as big as a phone book. Actually quite a bit larger than the one from my area. Next best is the Harley catalog from Dennis Kirk.

Thanks for all the ideas.
Now, see, as a start, the HD Motor Parts & Accessories Catalog is exactly what I was originally looking for and, when picking up my Service Manual and Parts Catalog for my bike, I specifically asked the dealer if there was anything else they had that would help shop for mods for my bike. Answer, "no." 
So I'm ordering one on line.
Thanks again. All the other non-Harley links will be great too and maybe better and less expensive. At least now I can get my dream sheet up and running.

I did order it on line this morning though and they said 4 to 6 weeks. Stuff usually comes quicker than they say so I'm looking forward to it. Pueblo is 150 mile round trip. Not bad on a bike in nice weather but it may be awhile before I can get back down the mountain.
