Thanks for the welcome and the fast response. That rack is perfect for securing a 3 day pack and heading out

There's actually 2.. that one, and the exact same one except it comes with the black hardware. I ordered the one Without the hardware, and they sent me the black thumbscrews anyways.. yeay. Anyways, yeah it fits with the fender bib and is very nice.

And Jose, thanks.. Hopefully when I get my powder coating back and get the bike back outside I can get my friend who's training to become a professional photographer to take some good photos of it.. hopefully I can get him to come with me up to Hawks Nest, NY or Bear Mountain and get some good action shots. It just freaks me out that I can't picture too many further cosmetic changes on my bike.. what am i gonna do next winter?!?! And I made a promise to myself that I'd get at like 12k miles on the 96" before I do engine work.. soo idk..

Thank you SGT Jim. I went to the site and didn't find that one. The link helped allot. I was going to get bags and all but I got an email today from the lawyer and he told me I had to either get a variance on my lot for some things I built or buy the lot next to me. Then he tells me buy the lot it's the simplest answer. Not the cheapest though. Damn NJ and there strict rules

Anyone looking for stainless fasteners, I ordered a complete kit for the whole bike from Dan at Top Line Fasteners. Arrived fast and everything looks great.

People actually still train for photography now days? Someone I know spent some big dollars attending Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, California just to end up working at one of the local chain camera stores. With digitial now days, it's mostly just about practice and using the right equipment for the right job. Then again, some people I know can't shoot good action shots even with good equipment since most of them don't practice panning.

Man, this thread is obviously the place to be for FBL riders!
Those of you with the V&H Big Radius 2 into 2 pipes.... how do you like them? They look like they were just made for the FBL. How are they performance and soundwise? What sort of tuning modifications did you do when you changed your pipes?
