Blacked out front end with a decent paint scheme gives that FLFBS a major plus.
I'm diggin on my tweaks and where I'm takin it. Need to update my pics, few more cosmetic changes since.

I have no issue with the rear fender but it can be changed. I actually wanted to change my rear fender but have recently had second thoughts. I changed my own tires, HD wanted $1k for new and installed Scorcher 11s. I saved at least $500 with Metzeler ME880 installed myself. The OEM fender makes this change EXTREMELY easy. Basically get the axle out, get the belt off, and slide the tire/wheel out the back. If the fender was changed, you'd be extending your tire change to at least another hour due to fighting with the removal of the fender and mounts. I like Klockworks front hugger fender, and would want to match the rear to it. Not to sure if I would want to now after doing my own tires.
I didn't have to pull fender or mounts to change tire on my 2010 fat boy. 🤷

Paint looks cool, but that headlamp and that exhaust is just....YEEESH. I don't think those stretched fenders fit the new fat boy either. Those short mini fenders on the front look the best.

Default I Love It

Wow, I like my 2020 FatBoy but I absolutely love the round headlight and the stretched front fender.
Now I’ll be striving for those two changes to my bike and trying to add road lights on a light bar.
Thanks for the pics.
