don't see many on the road, but when you do they always turn heads. love my fat boy lo, has always been my dream bike. now that i own one i can't see myself owning anything else. i still love to look at other bikes, but i don't think about what it would be like to have anything else.

After some work, here it is now.. repainted cosmic blue pearl and some other additional tweaks:
