The Ricor Intiminator sounds like a really good product. I think I am adding it to my list over the winter as well. I think everyone usually over looks the suspension and goes for the looks, which so far I have done as well haha. The shotgun shocks would be awesome but damn they are expensive! The Racetech does look like a good product as well, I think some more research and I will decide on which one would be better. I like the fact you just drop the Intiminator in rather then drilling anything. But like you said Jimsfbl need to understand the performance factor
I also added the PC V and I have to say it is awesome! I read some of your reviews on here and you all were right. It is a great ride now, much smoother and more responsive. It only took me an hour to install it in my garage and I am not very good with a wrench haha. So if anyone is looking for a quick and inexpensive mod that will make your Lo ride better then the PC V is the way to go! Also getting it from FuelMotto pre mapped was fantastic. Plug and play baby!

Yeah man.. I put on my intake, exhaust, and PCV before I even knew this forum existed. If I had known then what I know now, I would have gotten the PCV from FuelMoto just for the simple fact of the custom maps for pretty much all my setups. Especially because I'm fixing to change my exhaust system out, which means it's possible that my map isn't going to work properly anymore, even though the two exhaust systems are remarkably similar..
RaceTech definitely needs more pictures in their PDF's. If they show me exactly what I have to drill, I could probably do it. What's the worse that can happen? I muck my springs and such up and have to buy new ones? Oh daggum well. Such is life.
Ya know, I have no problem tearing my bike down to an engine and a frame (as pictures have shown).. but that's because pretty much everything on it is in the service manual. i really think that the biggest thing stopping me isn't the cost factor, but the fact that now i'm seriously modifying things from the factory with aftermarket parts, and if one thing goes wrong, then i'm going to be in a world of poopoo to try to fix it. But like i've been preaching, this would be a winter mod, which gives me 4 months to raise the funds, and to think about it.
As for the shutgun shock..despite my absolute desire to have one (mostly to make the ladies go "OOOoooohhhh!! Bouncy! I want to ride your hog!"..jk).. $1550 from them or whatever Drew charges is still going to be a bit down the road for me

....this site has pictures! i like pictures. Looking at the pictures and then looking at my neighbors drill press.. installation might be possible.

PS.. that 14" Touring Passenger seat is ugly as sin when it's mounted on the bike.. it sticks out over the fender by like an inch on either side. But between an ugly seat that i can remove, or listening to some biddie going "OW My *** Hurts! Can we pull over?!" for hours on end..i'll take the ugly seat.

Just some updated pics.....
Just like everyone else, this Fat Boy Lo thread has cost me a fortune and I am only about a third of the way finished. Since everyone is blacking the Lo out I decided to go chrome and flat black and here is what i have so far.
The mod list includes trans cover, cam cover , primary cover, chrome lower forks, brake and shifter levers, linkage and pegs, grips, jac knife highway pegs, passenger pegs, brake/tail light and the headlight visor. I think it made a big difference so far.
One question tho, what do you guys think, should I leave the vivid black accents or powder coat them matte black and just have chrome and one color black on the bike? Thx.
