the part number is 71248-00A and it's about $70, though the other post is right, you could just remove yours and powder coat.

with a power commander and full stage 1, i've gotten 189 miles on a tank of gas and only put in 4.4 gallons when filling up, that was a combination of highway/city.. mostly cruising at about 50-60mph in 6th gear

But sounds like you want the bike so white, it'll get lost in a snowstorm.

haha I didn't mean me.. I like my black one, i'd just like to SEE an all white one.. and that's why they make garages

coming from the sportbike world im used to that range... just curious...
My bike is stock ... other than the V&H Big Radius 2-1 exhaust. I run mine on the freeway at 75-85 mph most of the time (I commute 100 miles round trip for work every day). I can run it 200 miles on a tank. When I refill it I usually pump a little more than 4.5 gallons. I keep track of my fuel mileage with an app. on my phone and it says I am averaging 43mpg.

Thanks Sarge!

And that is vivid black?

Did you need anything special or is it a direct drop in?

Do you have any audio clips? The 2-1 in black is good looking, chrome is horrid. However the only 2-1 I've heard was on a 120 inch motor and I thought it was an sv1000 when I heard it.

i think you're misunderstanding the difference between a FatBoy and a FatBoy Lo.. they're 2 different models..

I know they are. I bought an 08 and spent thousands painting it lowering it and then they came out with the low. Thats all I am getting at.

yeah man it's a good looking bike. I'd ride it, as long as someone else cleans the bugs off the chrome for me

PS. Nothing about nothing, but Williams HD in Lebanon NJ had an open house yesterday which I went to (i needed the shifter spline cover for the heel shifter which i removed..yeay 20% off so it was $12), and I parked my bike right in the middle of the line to where almost everyone else had to walk past it. I can't tell you how many people were like "That's really effing good looking all black like that." then people were telling me about their chromed out bikes and how they have to spend hours polishing every last nook and cranny, to which i replied "Yeah, i basically use some simple green, a hose and a sponge and 20 minutes later she's clean again". they all laughed and were like "Yeah, you're pretty smart".. anywho, just was nice to get some good looks on the bike, makes me think the money invested is worth it.
