Default Finally pulled the trigger and changed my 'bars (2018 Heritage)

When I bought my '18 Heritage in vivid black I hated the skinny mini apes so I bought a set of Fatreach which have sat in my workshop all winter. So today I fitted them and for me, personally, it has transformed the ride, much more like the old Fatboy

Are my eyes deceiving me or is the engine mostly chrome instead of black?

Without a doubt a beautiful bike, worthy of the Classic name.

Just enough chrome for contrast, wide white walls, and solo seat.

I think it's the best looking 2018 I have ever seen regardless of model.
