anyone here thought about "chopperizing" their lo?
im seriously thinking about going minimalistic on my mine... i found some dudes online that make a strutless short fender for a stock 200 tire, a lot cheaper than heartland.
i found some tank risers online for about 50 bucs...
thoughts?

I too went with the street slammers and had them put on before I took delivery. Besides liking the look, the reason I did it was it stopped my shoulders from rolling slightly forward when use the stock bars. The rotation forward would become very uncomfortable after an hour or so of riding. The street slammers eliminated that for me. Just more comfortable.
Harley has made these decisions much easier now with the "Fit Shop". Go to your dealer and try out all the optional bars. The good news on the current Fit Shops are that they are using FatBoy Lo's as the setup bike. Picking the perfect bars (for me) took all of 20 minutes.

He offered to PS an 8" fender on my lo for me, like you did for my background. But he's got me thinking pretty hard about it. It would be pretty cool to take our different style lo's in complete different directions and compare pics. Anyway thanks for your help recently!

Bought my fat boy low right before july 4th. Put 2000 miles on it, just installed v&h BBS, PCV, Sissy bar, swingarm bag, levers, and some other things 2 weeks ago. Last saturday on my way to work a guy in a 99 bmw 325 crashed into me from behind on purpose and wrecked my dream bike.
do i take the insurance money and fix it or get rid of it and work on getting a fresh one? sux i had a million miles and manyu years planned for this, my first brand new anything. Always had to get used cars and bikes. Fianlly get my dream bike and now its wrecked.
