Thanks for the ideas. The chrome switch covers and grips were actually the wife's idea (she's a keeper).

Texas - -

Great suggestions. Your bike's awesome.


ORIGINAL: Texas Fat Boy

It a great bike right now. So where do I begin?

1st off:
How much do you want to spend?
How much do you think you're gonna spend?
How much are you actually gonna spend?
All three are different (ever increasing) numbers you know.

12" Apes (minimum) ($200)
Braided cables ($100)
Laydown license plate or under the tail light ($40)
rear axel cover ($180)
There's a backrest that fits that seat I think or the Springer seat (I can't remember) ($150 guess)
Aligator or Crockadile leather seat inserts and gell pad($300 custom install)
Rims ($3,000)
Rear spocket to match rims ($450)
Chrome fork lowers ($700)
Leather Pro detachable bags (they make one that matches your seat sides) ($700)
Chrome switch housings ($140)
Nostalgic grips ($50)
"Harley Goodies" floor board extenders (a must if you have large feet like me) ($50)
and then there's installing all this stuff ($$$$$$$)

You out of money yet?
