Calling all FatBoy Lo Owners
A couple new mods
I had a productive day putting more money on the bike.It was all pretty straight forward. The part number for the light bar is 68000026. I also added the Memphis Shades Detachable fairing. I still need to find a kit to relocate my turn signals to the light bar or just lower them to a point below the fairing. I have the one that is recommended for the kit but it has those ugly pancake lights. Does anyone have any suggestions?

For rider comfort I added 6" pullback risers to the stock bars. Turns out they look great and the added comfort of sitting up straighter mad a HUGE difference. I just ordered a Corbin Classic Solo seat. Had a Corbin on my Triumph America and loved it. I will follow up with a comfort report once it's installed.

You'll want to double check with HD on fitment with that bar, and they are chrome only so you'll have to PC.

Yes, I had to replace all the cables. I used the black braided cables (38875-09a, 38957-09, 41800112, 48920-10). These are the new wave 3 bars from BR's custom bars, Bill is great to deal with and every bar is built to your specs.

Just Ordered My 2012 Fat Boy Lo!
Wow, I finally did it and traded in my 2010 Fat Boy lo for the new 2012! 
I was hesitant about trading it in for a new one, but with all the advances they made since 2010 I really felt I needed them.
Now I have ABS brakes, (EITMS) Engine Idle Temp Management Stragety (shuts down the rear cylinder when at idle at a stop to reduce heat on your legs and overheating, tachometer in the digital dash, and a big new 103 motor!
It took me a few days to take all my upgraded parts off it and bring her back to stock but it is definitely worth it. Now all I have to do is put them back on the new bike.
I lost a little on the trade in, (They gave me $13,700) but I look at it like I leased it for 1-1/2 years then bought a new one, a much better one.
It would have cost me over $2000 for the Screamin Eagle upgrade for the 103 motor and I still wouldn't have ABS brakes or the other upgrades.
I just gotta wait on putting on the Screamin Eagle Pro II slip fit mufflers and K&N filter until V&H come up with the new specs for the FuelPak.
( I already emailed them for it )
