"The Beast" is done (maybe)
I did a make-over on my Fat Boy.
After installing my new rear wheel to match the front, I decided I didn’t like my Hard Saddlebags covering up that wheel so, I took off the Hard HD bags and went with Leather Pros LP 3200 detachable bags.
Then while I had in the shop I always wanted some handle bars with more pullback than my HD Mini Apes so I went with Buffalo 12 ½” Apes.
I actually told the Parts guy Wild Ones 502, but he ordered the Buffalo’s and had them on before I knew it. I let it slide. I’m too nice a guy, I know.
The Buffalo’s are a cheaper price, but with the same quality, but I believe the angle is a little different on the wrists than the Wild Ones.
Oh well. Whoa is me.
Of course I had to change the risers to 1” to match the new bars. But this let me have that Flame riser I always wanted.
Then while I had all this stuff on order I ran across this HD paint set on eBay from a dealership in CT, “The Beast”. It’s number 79 of 200 Limited Edition sets. I tried to buy it last spring but my dealer said it was sold out. Well eBay saved me over $1,500 on this, YEA !!!
Then I wasn’t satisfied with the HD Mustache Bar, so I had them put on the Mark III’s.
Then while I was having handle bars put on, I went with the HD Nostalgic Hand Grips.
I also added the Turn Signal Visors to match my Headlight visor.
And what the h3ll, I had them install the garage door opener that runs off the headlight switch.
SOMEBODY STOP ME PLEEEEEESE !!!!!!!!
Now I need chrome switch housings and chrome fork lowers.
Damn the insanity. SERINITY NOW !!!SERINITY NOW!!!

Man, you suck.
I am sick watching your changes and can hear the money ringing through all the way over here in Florida. THAT IS AN AWESOME JOB, your bike looks great.
I hate you.
You have a beautiful ride, wishing you many many miles of smooth road!
(I got put on a very restrictive budget for a while, so only little tiny things can get done to mine from time to time here on out.)
