Default Suggestions on new parts

Hey y'all,

Just bought an '09 FatBoy:
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/membe...oy-custom.html

I am looking for what I am going to put on it next. I was wondering if some one with experience on picking out these items can point me in the right direction of some good name brands or where the best prices are.

-Pipes (I want them LOUD)
-Wheels (Looking for something that compliments the Flames)
-LED Light kit (red)

Thanks for taking the time!

Good choice in bike

I have V&H pipes, if ya want loud and not too pricey I'd look at the V&H Big Radius. If ya want something more pricey, I'm not sure

Kuryakn makes lights kits for bikes. They all plug into each other and you can stick them under the tank and stuff like that.

Have fun with the new Fattie

Frikin nice bike!! Already slammed, nice paint...

Get rid of the reflectors. Move your front turn signals to the forks - both these things are almost free.

Then stage 1 - pipes and air cleaner with either a dealer Stage 1 download, a PC III or SERT or...? imo - dont waste money on the dealer download - go for one of the other options. For pipes, decide if you want the best in performance or looks. For best performance get a 2n1, next best is V&H with a Power Chamber or something similar, then everything else. If you start throwing real money into the motor - cams, big bore kit... then a 2n1 would be the way to go.

Any info on this mod? Sounds interesting. Thought I would have to use one of the light bars across the front, not really what I want

Sorry for the hijack. I hadn't seen any posts for this mod yet
