Love this forum! Dustmaker any way of making that instruction sheet bigger? I installed the Nacelle a while back and never cut the windshield but I'm planning on doing a very long trek this summer and I think I'm going to need it.

I agree, this is a place where you can see so many different customized bikes. And get the opinions and advice you might need to find the style you like. After not riding for a couple of years I picked up a low mileage bone stock 04 fatboy in the fall, perfect for me to put my own touch on it. So looking around the net for ideas i found this forum. So now i have so many more ideas and my parts list has grown. After hangin around here all winter and stockin up on parts the bike is finally on the lift at a buddy of mines house we should get it done next week. I know its only the beginning but thanks for the insperation. Won't look like this in a few days.

Most of the guys I ride with have just a few mods done, except for a couple certian ones and we are all on the same page some real cool bikes. There are times I stand out and some where I just blend in. Dusty your ride is friggen awesome

I have been pretty fortunate to have the last 10 months off work and not be able to ride....so have had LOTS of time to mess with my bike. But most of my bikes mods have came from here one way or another.

So I have to thank all of you guys and HDF for helping me spend the dollars to make my bike what it is today.



I still need someone to take some pics of my bike outside...any takers??
Yeah... I hear you, it happens all the time in my wolf pack...

I may cry...

I agree. I'm pretty new to the forum, but I'd be at a loss to what was even possible on these bikes if it weren't for the forum! "You can do stuff to your bike after you buy it? I'm in!"

I am torn, the look give me the lowrider style seat that I was after and the wife likes it but sometimes I would like a solo seat. Bad thing is once that you go to a two up you have to pull your bolts that hold the solo seat. It is a real PITA to reinstall them SOBs.

So if I do go to a solo I have to get a pillion too....

Choices.....

i don't really do much riding in a group. the other guy that i ride with the most is on this forum as well. but have to admit that without this forum my bike wouldn't be nearly as cool as it is now. and i wouldn't know nearly as much as i know about bikes
