Default FatBoy Makeover
I picked up a 2000 model Fatboy on a trade for an old truck I had and decided to give it a new life. The guy that had the bike was not taking care of it and left it to the elements under a carport. Shes coming together now...let me see if I can post some pictures

Here is a couple more. The paint is still needing the clear coat, but you get the idea...


Should be good companion for the StreetGlide

Thumbs up Awesome
Wow! Like the flames. Sounds like you have a great ride planned, ride safe. Also could not help but notice the 65? Chevy large window pickup. Great old trucks those are. I had a lowered one back in the 70's that was corvette yellow with orange between the chrome trim. Would like to find me one of those in good shape to rod around in LOL.

Cheers,

Mark

Thanks for the compliments...I can't wait to see it with the front fender on it. I went with the smooth Deluxe style fender from Klock Works...it should look real good on there
