Default Fatboy to StreetGlide

Is it reasonable to try and convert an 01 Fatboy to look like a Street glide? I have seen batwings and hard shell bags, what else would you need to do. Is it even possible to do / the Streetglides look like to forks are shorter. Chime in let me know what you guys think.

Reasonable is the key word here...It all depends on how much you want to spend to make it look like a SG...Can it be done, yes....In fact there is a guy on here with a softail that looks like a SG...Money is king though and buying a SG might be cheaper if you own the Fatboy

You have a good point, I was looking around and found some pictures that a group did at extreme custom choppers. Basicly added a batfairing and hard bags / I think it looks pretty good just wondering if im missing something. If its just these two major items i guessing cost to be +/- 1500.

jcallesano: I going for the bagger LOOK not the complete changeover of Fatboy to Streetglide OEM parts. My bikes paid for I DONT WANT A LOAN PAYMENT. If you don't have anything positive to add let it go and quite trying to provoke. I highly doubt you would call me buddy... two times face to face in that tone you might get your t-square stuck up your arrrrs.

I doubt that he'll spend $18,000 converting the Fat Boy.
