yeah i think you're right about 4 people owning them.. someone around here has the white version though, it looks good..and yeah they look a lot better in person.. but i couldn't go wrong with the vivid black, she makes the panties drop. too bad more than once thus far some female friends of mine look at it and go "Can I go for a ride?" and i tell them not right now because i don't have the passenger seat on it..

Then you better get that damn passenger seat on ASAP! Haha

Too bad it won't fit in the solo bag or I'd have it on me almost all of the time because the same has happened to me on multiple occasions.

LOL Already started on that, I had to snap out of it as I was ordering things that should wait until riding season was over

On a side note, is it better to order the black lower forks from HD or take mine and get them powder coated? I've never had anything powder coated but theres a few places around Indy that look like they do a good job?

you will save hundreds of dollars by getting them powdercoated. Go to the coater and check out some of their work, and if you like it, get it done.. when i priced out the black lowers/primary cover/some other stuff, the HD parts came out to like $900. I had the lowers, primary cover, inspection cover, tripletree, fork filler bolts, and my visored headlight trim ring powder coated for $330. it's worth it.

what do you mean it won't fit with the solo bag? a swingarm bag? on mine it appears that i have plenty of room for a passenger to get their foot on the peg, no sweat.

Rolln fatboy it's a lot cheaper to pc by a long shot what I did is I found a set of lowers on eBay that were taken off by the dealer for the hd ones I payed $30 for them having them pc then it's just a mater of a swap with no down time between buying them and having them pc I have less the $120 invested which is still $240 cheaper
I put the bike on a stand removed the wheel and wraped the bike then rattle caned my forks to get a idea of how it will look I did about 5 coats with a space heater between the forks between coats came out great can't tell at all and with the suspension hanging you can never see the line were it was taped off going to keep them on until there's a problem them swap and have the old ones pc and either keep or sell
Hope I helped or just rambled lol good luck and ride safe going to post pics soon of the transformation lol

My two cents. Make a list of whatever you want to PC'd and do it all at once.... MUCH CHEAPER then piece by piece...
