Default Project FatBoy Phase 1 Complete

Allright so thanks to a lot of help from this forum, I now have my FatBoy looken good and running even better. since you guys did just as much work on this thing as I did thought you would like some before durring and after pics.

Purchase = $4,500

rebuilt motor 95 kit and S&S gear drive cames = $2,900

1 quart of Hot rod balck paint by SEM = $110

17 inch black ape hangers from wicked twins = $130. cables were allready on the bike.

Blacked out lower forks =$5

2 new tires with wheel bearings = $310 ( just for added insurance)

total = $7,955

No monthly payments = Priceless





















Plenty of mods left to do, but for now, I just wanna ride!!

Thanks Again Everyone.
