Is anything other than the paint different from other street glides?

I thought I’d take a couple shots before it comes apart.
First thing is to get everything out to powder, and looking at the bike, it’s pretty much coming apart.
I just completed a build of a ‘18 Fat Boy and followed the build with a thread (https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...fat-boy-s.html) and because it seemed a lot of guys enjoyed following along, I’ll do it again, so if you’d like, please follow along.
Thank you.

Congrats, I only have 750 miles so far on mine. The color combo drew me to my bike the first time I saw it on the HD site.

Yep... getting blacked out. I really wish I could like that look. Still an old school chrome guy I guess. Still going to follow this build as it's very obvious your really good. Be interested to see the finished bike.

Its a nice looking bike and IMO the best color combo HD has this year. Why didnt you get the special if you was powder coating everything?

Because the Annivesery Special did not come in Legion Blue/Vivid Black, just that denim with the tattoo graphs.
Yes, I am blacking everything out. It was the plan from the start.
Besides, the standard saved me more then 5k dollars and besides the stretched bags, I didn't get the 6.5 speakers. So I really think the Standard was a better deal.
Here is the result from day one. Tomorrow I need to throw the rear wheel back in so that I can turn the motor to cut the push rods (that one got by me) no biggie. Here's the first batch of parts going out
