STORY808 (Mark), he is a member here look him up. He won't duplicate that cover and that's what is so cool about his work (1 off). He will either help you come up with a design or he will carve your design. Covers can be Gloss, Matte or wrinkle black.

There's also a "Derby ****" thread somewhere, and it seems like more than half of the work shown in that thread is Mark's.. if you have an idea or can give him a sketch of something, email it to him and he'll work with you. I drew something on paper that looked like a 4th grader drew it for homework and this is what we came up with.

Haha look at this guy.... already got rid of the reflectors without having to be told. I like that sissybar and backrest with the touring passenger seat.. actually fits with one another. I just got a touring pass. seat, and alone, it looks god awful.

Well welcome to the thread, and our apologies to your wallet. I actually made an excel spreadsheet with part numbers and prices and stuff like that to see how much money I've put in to accessorizing my bike already.. geezus. Yeah.


oh, Big Jim.. those Racetech Emulators..they don't say on the website that you have to cut spacers to fit inside the tube, but #6 on the directions say "Set the spring preload by cutting spacers according to the table below". So apparently I have to cut some 1.4" spaces. Gosh darn it. There goes a thumb to the cause.

I am glad to see I ain't the only one with a list in excel! And yeah the reflectors, stock pillion and orange turn signals were in a pile on the floor about five minutes after I got it home. The big back rest and touring seat look better than I thought they would. They are only attached when riding 2 up. Never on when going solo!

Not having luck in a Thread so I thought I should throw it out there knowing I will get help from fellow Lo riders.

I was out riding yesterday and my throttle cable broke at the induction module. Thought this was odd seeing it's a 2010 Fatboy Lo with only 8200 miles. Questions I have are:
1) Do you need to remove the tank to change the cable (I had just filled up 10 miles prior and don't really want to drain the tank)?
2) Do you usually change both cables or just the broken one?
3) Any tips---is it a pain in the *** or an easy change?
Thanks

Still need to think of something myself. However, at least I finally got around to having the passenger seat and sissy bar pad redone in time for the 9-11 festivities.




While in SoUtah on Saturday, I also stopped in at the local Harley dealership. I actually found a "Fatboy" shirt with photos of the "LO" on the front. Needless to say, I purchased one.
