Default Fatboy Lo Mods

Getting my Lo delivered tomorrow. This might be too soon but I've been searching for accessories for the Lo. It's sort of hard to imagine if some of parts would look good on the bike without actually seeing them. Looking forward to your pics.

yep but i see a few places already. Rush slip ons, arlen ness big sucker air breather and the most important fuel management thundermax with auto tune.
the air breather you can keep your cover and not change the looks, the rush will sound and run better and you can use the stock harley heat shields, the thundermax will tune as you ride and adjust to your bike and riding style and altitude change and fuel and temp and wind change. tunes as you ride. here is a pic of my bike with the rush

Do those come in black? They look just like the screamin' eagle slip ons from Harley. I wanted to get them but was told that they were a waste of money.

Dave,

Congrats on the new ride, best of luck with it.

As far as mods are concerned??? After seeing it in person I really liked the look of the raw pieces on the bike. I'd be real tempted to go in a different direction rather than just blacking the rest of it out. What about adding more "raw" instead? If you're swapping out the exhaust why not try to strip the black off of the front of the pipes to match the back? Same with the air cleaner. If it works (I think it would), then do the same to the triple trees. Give it a nice industrial (Exile) look.

they may look like Harley but they sound much better. you can change the baffle to suit your liking.
yes it seems they have the black ones now

Look at my pipes... I think they would look great on the Lo... Reinharts, sound and look great... The black finish would definately go with the Lo look

you can paint the chrome with semi gloss high heat engine paint and it will look like black chrome
