The FatBoy with the new front end
It is a 14* rake with an 8" extended 65mm inverted tube. These are massive. It came from AME so all trail is corrected.
For those that replied to my bar question. I ended going with the wild-1 chubby 560 lowprofile. Worked out very nice. no hitting the tank or dash. Plus the pullback is very relaxed no reaching for the bars or leaning forward.
So all I am waiting on now is my seat to come back from MCSeating. Should be here monday. I also still have to remount the new led front blinkers. have the wiring ran just have to build the brackets. I think the hardest part of this install was the front axle and new spacers to get it to sit in the caliper perfectly.
The wait to ride is killing me..

Thanks guys
Stock height. But its a SE so it rides a little lower than the regular. I actually like to call it a HOT-ROD over a chopper. I just really like the look of the FAT front tire. Looks more aggressive. I know the ride will be affected at low speeds and the turn radius is bad but the ride at speed is supposed to be great. at least from the info I got from some. Guess we will see.

I hear ya when I bought mine I swore first thing I was gonna do was ditch the boards but 1st time I rode with them that idea went out the window.
