Default From a 48 to a 18 fatboy.

Got my new Fatboy about two weeks ago. I love it just missing the sound. The white really looks good in sunlight, but my photos really don't show it. I definitely want to keep the satin chrome look on the pipes. I head the rinehart slip-ons will hide behind the heat shield.? I e-mailed V&H they said they would have a finish to match the fatboy on their website soon. I emailed back about possible head pipe, but no answer yet. I'll miss my 48, but I will enjoy this more. 150 more miles to finish the break in.
