Nice looking sled for sure! Love all the chrome! I have the chroma virus too
How did you black out the bolt nut just below the seat? I have been looking for chrome cap for it but blacking it out might be just as good.

I just removed them, pushed the threads through a cardboard box to protect them and then spray painted them. Let them dry really well, then installed carefully to not scuff them up.

It's a great platform to start on. Lots of different things you can do from a stock Fat Boy.

I finally got my front and rear signal lights installed. I feel a little safer out there with additional brake lights.
