Default Fatboy makeover complete... Almost

I finally found the time to take some pics of the changes I made last winter to my 04 Fatty. I have a few more blacked out parts that I haven't installed yet, but this is the basic look I was going for. I'm adding detachable bags, a detachable sissy bar, and a new seat soon. I'm also thinking of going back to my beach bars... I think they might suit the bike better. Also, I may paint the tins Denim Black over the winter... what do you guys think??

Love it!!

My Fatboy is going black this winter. Picked up a NOS complete wrinkle black engine kit a couple weeks ago, primed struts, black oil tank, and a few other odds and ends. Been trying to decide whether I should do the front end or not, seeing yours makes me want to but it just may not be in the cards right now. We'll have to see... Not sure if I have the ***** to coat my pipes and wheels though....
