I reall like the look of the new anniversary tank emblems, I might. Have to steal a idea or to, wish they had a dark custom logo tank badge I think that would look bad a$$, just saying
I did my own research and wound up with the Pirelli Night Dragons. They are awesome. What a difference in ride and handling. I picked up a screw in the rear with only 600 miles on the stock set. I plugged it and rode for another 1800 miles before making the change. I thought I was playing with fire.
Man did I overreact. That tire is awesome so far. I took the my girlfriend up to the mountains for a 400 mi trip yesterday. She's 320 lbs...nah kiddin she's 110. Kinda nice when the mountains are in your back yard and the ocean is 90 miles the other way. I know the tire won't last as long but it handles like my old cbr900rr...ok maybe not that well but i ain't complainin. The 75 load rating is fine. I did some more research. The tire warranty covers the cost of the stock dunlops. You can buy different brands but you will have to pay the difference which is fine with me. My next set are gonna be the Mich cmdr IIs. Thanks Danzax and Sgt Jim for your insight. Ride Safe.

I miss riding up through Gold country and the Sierra's. I used to live in Lodi,Ca. Loved going up hwy 4 and 88 then cutting over to Tahoe and back down 50.
Damn. Sick Ride !!!!
Congrats on a bad *** looking bike.
Thanks man, kinda proud of it myself. Get alot of triple takes around here

I paid....gulp...$30k. Base price on the bike was $18k and another $14k in accessories and labor. I talked them down $2k. I know, it's probably the most expensive Fatboy Lo on the road, but it's exactly how I would have built it so I'm happy with it.

I guess I worry about the clear part becoming not so clear over time, or just not looking good. I have a black ops RSD turbine air cleaner that I love, and I wouldn't mind matching those covers out with the clarity ones when I get a little extra scratch (maybe christmas)
I've only put 1900 miles on it in 5 months, but they're still clear as day. Everyone is always amazed that you can see the oil and the throttle body opening up. Two thumbs up with their WOW factor so far!!!

We're taking that route to Street Vibes this year. We went up 50 and turned north on Ice House Rd up to Loon Lake. Back down to 49 to Columbia State park then back to Sactown thru Jackson. Took off at 7 a.m. and got back at 8 p.m. Great day of riding.
Fat11LO, I bit the bullet and bought the Corbin seat. By far the best mod I have done to my bike. I had the same issue. Even after a short ride my *** hurt. The corbin took care of it. I also added 6" pullback risers on the stock handlebars. The more upright position also helps with the pain in the ***.
How's the passenger seat on the corbin? Ridding mostly 2-up theese days
