Default Personalized Fatboy

New bike with&nbsp\\;a few changes to suit my riding style and personal taste:
&nbsp\\;
1. V&amp\\;\\H pipes
2. Chubby bars
3. Cleaned fender (Relocated plate)
4. Removed footboards (fwd controls)
5. Mustang seat
6. Paint touchup (Had to loose the Baby Blue and Gray)
&nbsp\\;
Hope you enjoy the pics.
&nbsp\\;
Mike

Get some chrome plugs from the stealer to fill the holes in the fender, or do something else with them.&nbsp\\; It looks much better without the stripe on the side of the tank although I am partial to the original fatboy logo.&nbsp\\; I put spikes in my fender holes.&nbsp\\; Chrome those wheels and it will be off the hizook.&nbsp\\; Nice with the forwards too, although I am a floorboard man. &nbsp\\;

yep on filling the holes. I use Harley chrome covers that screw in the threads on the nuts on the top of the fender. They are plastic and $5 each.

Thanks for the tips guys.
&nbsp\\;
brianp25, do you have more photos of your bike? I've toyed with the idea of a bob tail myself...
&nbsp\\;
Thanks,
&nbsp\\;
Mike
