Calling all FatBoy Lo Owners
wow! I finally finished reading every post on this thread!
Divorce took care of my credit so have been saving up to pay cash for my first HD - Was still trying to make up my mind on exactly what I wanted and since the lo was on the short list I started reading this thread - now a lo IS the list - it's going to take a while but it is so gonna be worth it
I am definately serious about this as I have even quit smoking and put the money I would have spent into the lo account first thing each payday - every time I want a cig I just think about what it's for
have seen some killer bikes in this thread and have stolen, um I mean borrowed a lot of ideas as well as come up with a few of my own - I have a list of mods that's probably gonna cost me as much as the original bike will but it's gonna be what I want
Anyway, enough of the book here - just thank you to everyone for sharing everything you have done

You can mount the bags on a 200 rear softail with the bagger tail mount kit from cyclevisions. I will have mine next week, but it is a fairly simple installation from what I understand. All you need is the mount kit from CV and a set of street glide or road king hard bags.

I would think you could cut them a bit to make them work. Right now my turn signals are integrated into the taillight. The taillight is LED from D2moto.com it was only 50 bucks and it is a much lower profile compared to the stock light and pretty easy to install. I was thinking of maybe getting some LED's to mount in the fillers to use as turn signals. Guess we will see when I have all the parts in hand.

Has anybody put the wider (14" hd#52915-07) passenger pillion on their Lo? I just ordered one ($117+shipping) because my wife told me the stock one wasn't too comfortable, and for the first time today, I actually sat on it, and damn, she's right. Saw some good reviews on it so thought I'd give it a try. I 'spose I'll end end with a collection of seats for different occasions. Me, I really like the stock FBL solo seat, so I'm good with that. Will it look goofy (too wide) without saddlebags? Pics would be great. Thanks. Ride safe.

That is actually a really good idea. If you end up doing that I would like to see some pictures.

Got my short shots finished today. Now I just have to get rid of popping on decel and find some of the low end. I knew I'd lose some but dang....but they sound good.
If I was good at the interwebs I'd post a pic but it takes me an hour. Maybe after work.

If all you are doing is the pipes then a flash of your ECM from the dealer will most likely be all you need. Enjoy the pipes. Ride safe.

I hear ya on the decel popping and low end. I had the same thing after installing my Rush crosovers. I opted to go full stage 1 with a Power Commander V and stage 1 A/C from Fuelmoto. Got it installed with the pre programmed map from Jamie. The bike got it's low end back + some and no more decel popping. After I get a few more miles on the bike I will have it dyno tuned.

I'm just hoping I don't have a leak...I couldn't hear one and torqued the head bolts to 120.
