I like the laid-back license plate - I would like to do that to mine.
But - Damn dude, you're killing me with those beautifully polished wheels....I guess I have a winter project coming up. Looking good - Damn good, and a real credit to FatBoys!

I did not know FB's came with those. I figured someone went to the polishing effort to do the edges. Looks great either way, easier to keep clean if chromed over occasionally polishing.

Does that make you feel better about how yours look....?

Or is there still some polishing in your future...?

Polishing....Icky dirty aluminum polishing.... But hey, you want to come over and help -there's always beer involved.
Football and aluminum polish, can't wait. Well, I'll wait until winter.

If mine didn't come with chrome plated ones they wouldn't get polished.

I like the lay-down and low license plate holder - Where did you get that?
That's a good-looking Fatty!

The bars look stock to me.
