Avalanche123,
I love the exhaust. There is no comparison to the stock over this this V&H setup. The Heavy Breather does a lot to bring that engine alive as well. I would have never done one without the other and then also adding in the Super Tuner. There are a lot of pipes out there to choose from and I chose these because I wanted the ground pounding look and the curves. In any case get those stock pipes off and replace them with something that is more free flowing and fits your style. And as I was told by a friend "Loud pipes save lives" When that guy in the lane next to you is not paying attention and seems to want to drift over just give him a little twist to wake him up.
Looking back on things now I would have purchased the "Fuel Pack" and not the "HD Super Tuner". That was one of my rookie mistakes. I took the dealerships word for it and bought what they said I needed. In reality I think the Fuel Pack is better suited for a Dyno Tune. Would anyone else agree on that?
I posted all the pictures I have so far in my garage area. I have not figured out the best way to attach them in the thread yet. Still figuring that out.

Sweet pics! I'll be going for the same setup as you have. Love those pipes. I'll follow this thread to see what others say about the HD Super Tunr vs Fuel Pack. Lots of interesting advise kicking around.
My only concern with the exhaust is I go to work early and I doubt my neighbours will love me while my bike is warming up....other than that though, its game on.

Here's mine ^^^
Picked it up Friday from Wild Fire in Chicago (great people to deal with)
Stock for now (waiting on parts)
Of course they had everything I wanted in chrome
The windshield is going to get chopped about 6" and dark tinted (I'll be looking over the top)
Floorboards are coming off in favor of forwards & V&H 2-into-1 Big Radius is going on.
My neighbors are going to love it when I get home from work at 3AM

Hey Everyone,
I am in the process of blacking some things out on my new Denim Fat Boy Lo. I have been taking a lot of notes and ideas from all of you and your pictures. I am looking for options on the head light right now. So far all I have come up with is buying the chrome visor of my choice and painting it? What have you all done to get yours in black. Right now I like DAVE has hit looking. I want a "sharper" looking leading edge like he has and not a fat round edge and I want something in black. If I am going to have to paint it my self then I might go Denim or satin on the entire head light area forks and all....
Let me know,

They said 1-2 weeks and I either have to drive back to Wild Fire (3hrs away) or have them shipped to my house (even more time...ugh)
