I have the black caps on mine, but I've also powdercoated the lowers. No problem with them staying put... about a year now....

oh... one thing... you'll want to position them so the set screw is perpendicular to one of the nut faces... If you put them on at an angle, they'll loosen.

Looking at different engine guards and a seat, but the Fatboy is finished for now.

Love that red. If I hadn't had a vision for my Anny, I would have traded in on that. Aggravated they didn't have it in 13. Maybe in a few years, I can find one cheap enough to use for parts.

Whose and what pipes you have there? Have an FP3 on it?

Thanks, I like the orange too. That was available in 13 but around here, everyone would think I was an Auburn or Tennessee fan and that crap won't fly.

i knew it was orange, but i figured i'd let you say so. the red i have seen is the cayenne red. also saw another dark red but it had skulls in the paint both on a lo. if you have a passenger, try these floor boards.

Looking at this:

Backrest would be nice on longer trips. If anyone has a suggestion (especially for passenger) I'd appreciate it. If I end up sitting a little higher, I can deal with it, but I don't want to sit any closer to the tank or front of the bike (I'm only 5'11" but all my height is in my legs, don't want to be all cramped up).
