The only reason I did the relocation was because the dealer gave me everything like the backrest, detachable hardware, and relocation kit when I bought the bike. I just got it about 2 weeks ago and figured why pay them 150 to put it on when I can always try myself and if I screw up i can just take it down there. Good news is I didn't screw up. Now looking for the next thing to do. #1 on my list is exhaust, probably 2 into 1 because #2 on my list is Road King bags.

I am waiting on a response from Brian to see what my options are with his bracket but does anyone else have any recommendations for something similar incase i can't use it? I really loved how simplistic this bracket looks compared to some of the other options out there.
The Hogrida works fine on the stock Fatboy Lo rear fender. I had to flatten mine out a bit (the hogrida, not the fender ) for it to match the curve of the fender.

When you take off the stock tag mount, you need to get under the fender to put a wrench on the bolts. When you put the hogrida on, just re-use those bolts.

Hey LO brothers,

I was asked/invited to put my bike in a show at the end of April and these are the different classes.

1)Bagger
2)Metric
3)Antique
4)Trike
5)Custom
6)Radical
7)Rat
8)Sportster
9)Big Twin

I know the obvious ones that don't apply, but which class would you enter MY sled?

I would have to say enter it in the Big Twin Class. Reason is that the Custom class will be a lot of Custom frames and 1 off builds, The Rat class is close but I see Rat bikes as older rusted and faded bikes. And the radical Class could be in your ally but again the will be a lot of custom made and 1 off parts in that class. I guess if you knew the what was going to be there it would make the choice much easier.

Yea, that's what I was thinking also. But you can see why I'm asking and I don't know who is all in it. I know of some chopper friends of mine that will and some 1 off's.

Thanks for your opinion bro.
