Calling all FatBoy Lo Owners
Ouch, that kinda hurt, but I guess it was kinda what I was expecting. In reality, that's not a bad price, I'm just a cheap SOB.

You can get the seat alone for $320ish. The stitching and buttons add around $100 to the cost of the seat. Mind you, this is for the vinyl seat. I think it's worth it in the long run. Again thanks for the complments. Check out Xian leather on his website. If I had known of him before I bought the seat I would of had him recover mine. Christian is a cool dude, plus he just moved to Virginia.

**** man, that looks bad ***! But now that I see how extremely long those pipes are, I may opt for the shorter ones that go just past the fender, because I don't have any bags or an extended fender, so it might look silly on my bike... But on your bike, sick!
Now, you say you don't know what else to do to the bike... what about blacking out those forks and dropping it and inch or 2
But seriously, you could leave it like it is and it would be fine.

Had a chance to ride with the 18" windshield installed today for a few hours.. man what a difference that makes.. it's low enough that i can see over it, but high enough that the wind comes up over the top and hits my helmet right at the top, but that's not bad.. otherwise nothing is hitting my chest anymore and what not (great for these winter rides, but i like the opposite during the summer). It doesn't look that bad either.. i blacked out the chrome frame to it, and the tinted look looks good.. the major problem I have with the thing is that now i hear EVERYTHING in the engine.. i hear the exhaust coming out through the heads, and the timing chain going and the primary chain going round and round.. sounds like everything is falling apart..but i know it's not.. except..
so..i notice i have some oil on the outside of my oil tank, so im like Wtf, eh?..im looking around for a crack in the tank around the filler, or if the dipstick isn't making a good seal..nothing.. a friend of mine notices that it's all over the rear cylinder too..like..wtf... turns out a bunch of things were wrong.. 1) the breather bolts from the Arlen Ness Big Sucker were very very loose..like i could remove them with my fingertips.. the o-rings inside the housing of the thing were torn apart, so that was leaking like crazy.. then when i got the whole thing torn apart to replace the o-rings..i noticed the inside of the housing (to the big sucker, not the HD intake) was cracked..i guess it was tightened down too far and cracked under the pressure. darn it to shoot. well, i got the o-rings replaced and the breather bolts tightened back down, so we'll see how it holds out. otherwise i might be influenced to start moving forward with a full Stage II upgrade prior to the mileage i was waiting for... yeah.

yeah it's definitely weird.. but the windshield is only a winter/200+ mile ride thing..to keep the wind off my chest.. if i'm riding that far, i don't need to be fighting the wind the whole way, it takes away from me enjoying the ride.. come Spring it'll be back off..only have 1 or 2 more good rides planned this season anyways.. and i've done 2,000 miles this season, which for me is a fair amount (yes, i know, some of you guys ride that in a weekend..but it's not my daily driver, ya know?)

Riding season winding down...but..
Got the new rubber on, a week away from Halloween, and 70 degrees in South Dakota, so out for a ride today and thought this would make a nice picture. Man I love riding in the fall.
