New Fatboy Owner here!
[sm=smiley32.gif]Finally purchased a 03' Anniversary Fatboy after riding a 02' Suzuki GSXR. Now I realize what I have missed!!! I have been taking in and reading up as much as possible on here and am amazed at the amount of help you all contribute. Just a newbie here so take it easy!

RE: New Fatboy Owner here!
Thank you very much!!! I need to get some pictures taken and posted up. I have been adding little things here and there. Newest is the passing lamps and relocated the turn signals from the bars to under the passing lamps. Next is to get the swing arm chromed and a Mustang seat.

RE: New Fatboy Owner here!
Congrats on the new ride! Like you and Brian, I came from crotch rocket roots (used to race a Ninja ZX7 for many years), but now it all about how I can find the long way around instead of getting there first...
As far as pipes go, another brand that you might want to consider is the Thunderheader 2 into 1. They are loud, (as the name implies) but they sound great and make awesome power.
Here is the link for their website:

Thanks for the link. Now I have too many decisions to make. For the record, I did use the search function before I posted the question. I was looking for more information as far as how everything fits, ease of installation and miscellaneous comments.
Thanks again guys!!!

RE: New Fatboy Owner here!
Vance & Hines makes an excellant pipe ( in my opionion) The fit & finish is excellant and instillation is very simple 1 bracket and everything fits like it was made to. Sound is a nice deep rumble, no so loud you can't here like some are. I have no discoloring or blueing going on. I ran Vance & Hines pipes on all my sport bikes and have never had a problem, they have a excellant customer service department so if something is not right they will make it right. As far as performance thay made a big difference with the 2 into 1 pipe and SE a/c and carb jetted! You will want to get new exhaust gaskets when you change your pipes
