Tim, you don't fool around do ya. I like all the mods you've mentioned and will eventually get to them when cash is not an issue. As mentioned, I'd leave the swing arm black myself. Again as mentioned, some frame inserts will look better IMHO. Oh yea, when you get your bike done, how about helpin me out .

doing that stuff won't set it apart. That's the same stuff every fatboy has done to it. the stock bikes are the ones that stand out

You could get some clear rims or paint yours.
rims with 500 degree High Heat Paint and then clear coated.

The previous owner added front and rear chrome calipers, on my bike.It cost $760.00, not counting installation labor. I don't think they add that much to the appearance, for the money.

How about a Solo seat (I'm partial to Corbin) and drop it two inches with some new shocks. I'm 5'9" and the reach om my street slammers is very comfortable. The bars were the very first thing to catch my eye on my bike. And don't be afraid open up the engine and add a few goodies.

Other than that, hold on to the stock seat & sissy bar -- I'm going to want it when I buy your bike in ten yearsafter wearing mine out!

Before you spend anymore money, decide what YOU really want your bike to say. Only so many add on's you can add before you have every gadget in the Harley shop only to pull up next to someone with the same things. I don't have that problem.............

If you want it to look different than most Fatties, put laced wheels on it. At least the front. Classic look.
