RE: Some new mods for Texas Fat Boy
Thanks guys,
Poor Boy:
Just my luck, I wait 25 years to buy a $20,000 Harley
and the next year they come out with a Special 105 Anniversery Edtion. [sm=laughat.gif]
Soul Fish:
That's what I think too, follows the fender and kinda matches the tank too.
Thanks, I may keep them, who knows?
Dugan:
The "tank lift" isfrom Chopper Style http://chopperstyle.net/tanklift.htm
It's just two little brackets and some longer gas line.
I had my Harley shop guys put in on when I was in for something else. But it's a pretty simple install.
I bought it from J&P Cycles http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup...All&page=1
There is another guy on HD Forums that sells the same thing cheaper, but he wouldn't return my emails, so I bought them from J&P.
Tuna Man:
Thanks, I'm really likin' how it's lookin'.

RE: Some new mods for Texas Fat Boy
Damm it Texas Fat Boy, I love that tank lift. What a subtle, awesome change.
And then you had to make it easy to find the kit. Now I have to give you the ultimate complement by getting this done too.
I hate you. (j/k).

p.s. When will this ever stop?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! hee hee.

Poor Boy:
You'll love a tank lift, it looks a lot better in person than it does in the pictures.
It really helped mine because I always thought my stripe on thegas tank,madethe bikelook shorter somehow.
Now it has an aggressive stance to me.
I'd even go for 2" longer in the front fork tubes.
Grimm:
Thanks, I'm always looking at a custom paint job and maybe go to leather bags.
I saw the new leatherbags Harley has today and really liked them.
They are a little bigger than the Heritage bags (1200 c. i.vs 100 c. i.)
all the older bags I had looked at in the past were way to small 860 c. i. or smaller.

RE: Some new mods for Texas Fat Boy
did you go 2" or 3" on the tank lift? i'm guessing 2. I have long legs and my knees seem to be higher than the tank when riding, making it a wierd (he's to big for that bike) look. maybe the lift would fix that.

RE: Some new mods for Texas Fat Boy
ga 4 boats: Thanks
Dugan: It's a 2" lift on the front of the tank to tilt it up,
somebody on here did a 2" or 3" in the front and then did a 1" on the rear, to raise his tank up.
Kato: Thanks, I've always liked that color of blue that you have.
