Cool,

Good luck post pics when you get it. In my area Atlanta, we have no less than 6 dealers within a 50 mile radius so it's easy once you figure out what you want to play one against the other to get a great deal. It's a buyers market if you play your cards right.

Default Thanks to all You fat Boy Lo Owners...

...Decided on the Fat Boy Lo...might pick up a left over 2010 or a new 2011.

Street slammer bars will be added right off the step..(Thank you Dave)

I like the V&H 2-1-my question is-
At what point do you perform a stage 1? air intake, then exhaust, then re-map? ..or do you buy a fuel management system like the V&H fuel pack..or PCV?
So many questions....
Love every one of the FBL's in this thread...you all are an inspiration!
Much respect and many thanks!

Mike

I put the Deluxe Handlebars and 4" risers on my Lo and it is Much more comfortable with no shoulder pain. I also swapped out the seat.
2 essentials for a better look and ride.

AussieGirl - Your bike is the splitting image of mine other than that fact I took my passenger seat off and I have a digitial oil guage. How do you like the race tuner? I did the HD download and it sucked..
