Default Need inspiration for my 10' Fat Boy - Pics needed!

Hey guys,

I know I said I wasn't going to go crazy with building up my Fat Boy, but I can't help it. Its a damn disease.

So, with that being said.. I need some inspirational pics of your chromed out Fat Boys. I blacked out my last Street Bob, but this Fatty is gunna be a chromey. Plus, my Wrangler is blacked out, so I'd like to have both worlds.

I'm not sure which direction to go with this thing. I'm pretty sure I want some apes, but I've been debating some beach bars as well. I bought a sissy bar (low with regular sized pad), but I just HATE the way it looks. So I'm thinking I'm going to sell it and get one of those tall "attitude" sissy bars.

Bleh, I'm just babbling. I'm not sure where to go with this thing, so bring out some pictures for inspiration PLEASE!

Thanks,
Adrian

Well...there's some nice looking Fatboys on here. I'm sure you'll get some good ideas before too long. Kind of depends on what sort of look you're going for. Have fun with it. It will take some of the pain out of the $$$ drain.

This is my 2012 FB that I bought used before the winter. I installed new exhaust, heavy breather and a SE 254E cam. It came with the HD edge cut floor boards, grips, mirrors and the engine guard. I plan on changing the seat. Looking into C&C Seats. As for the engine guard, I'm on the fence whether or not to remove it.

I would love to change the wheels but I'm too cheap - don't want to spend the $$ right now.

Yeah, I'm collecting a few ideas here and there. Definitely already hurting from the $$$ I spent on this thing already..

Thanks for the link! I'm looking through it slowly.

Looks good man! Bet that SE Cam gives it a nice little punch. I say definitely remove the engine guard. I hate the way they look. I like those stock Fat Boy wheels in chrome! If you decide to sell them, let me know! I'd definitely be interested!

First upgrade, and it won't cost a dime. Remove the reflectors.

Hair dryer and some fishing line and they'll slip right off. I little solvent for any residue.

Been looking at those. The stockers on top the 16s just don't look right, and I don't like them underneath...
