Calling all FatBoy Lo Owners
Got my Martin Bros. Medustas on...yay or nay? I love the look and the sound is great! Nice and quiet like my baffled V&H 2-2 then gets so nasty when I rip it. I think the chrome looks good on there but I'd probably PC them.

I would definately PCem black, but I like the pipes bro. Do you want to sell me your V/H big radius? I also noticed you have the edge cut grips, I'm going to sell my edge cut boards. Maybe we can wheel and deal?

I respect your opinion on spokes, and the FBL black wheels aren't bad looking, but I've had 14 Harleys, mostly hardtails, and this was my 1st FB. I heard all of the rumors about solid wheels and the wind, but 2 bike weeks back I had 25 + gust up to 32 mph and I was getting pushed all over the interstate. It was ridiculous. I admit it's not that often, but with spoke wheels, my FBL rides better in the wind than my street glide now. (3rd Infantry Armor)
There is actually a thread on this somewhere here on the forum about this. But when the spokes are turning at 30+ mph they become a solid and wind does not blow through them. A softail rides better in the wind vs any bike with a fairing from side gusts.
I bring this up, not to challenge you, but to inform riders that this is a false theory.
Found it, click on envelope.

I really like the pipes though and so does my butt dyno. I took the baffles out my V&H and they were obnoxious cruising around but sound great cracking the throttle. These new pipes sound quieter and refined around town but sound great like my unbaffled V&H getting on it.

Don't you have some already haha? I already told CaptainMorganSOS he has dibs if I sell them and he has the money. I'm not really interested in the edge cut floorboards now but they would set it off. I'm entertaining the idea of forward controls. I'm going to run these Martin Bros. for a few weeks and see how I like them and go from there. You two will be the first to know.

But those new pipes you got give it a killer look.
WOW! Man that looks sweet!! Those blue flames really set off the look.
