Default Finally posting pics...

I finally got around to taking some pics of my bike since it's either been raining or I've been riding when it isn't raining!

Looks awesome bro. I almost bought one in vivid black myself but decided on the 2 tone at the last minute. That seat is different but it still looks pretty good and I think its the same shape/style, just different on the tags like you said.

Thanks for the pics Kurt. I can see why you ride whenever it's not raining, with a bike like that I would be to. Enjoy the ride. I like your bike.

looks great
i like the way it looks without the rack and the little seat pad thing really gives it a sleak look.
great job

Thanks for the compliments on the bike. I was pretty close to going with a Road King Classic but my dealer had just gotten this black pearl Deluxe in, and I decided to go with it. I have to give Whiplush credit for the fender bib and lay-down license plate bracket ideas. I probably would have overlooked those items if not for him and this forum. As for the pipes, yes they are V&H Bigshots. I've also done the Stage 1 and Harley Race Tuner. I was pleasantly surprised to see (and feel) the torque gains on the dyno. I thought I'd lose a bit with the Big Shots. Next up... Big Bore, custom paint and chrome fork lowers, but that's going to be a winter project. I want to take advantage of the riding season here in Minnesota as much as possible!

Take care all and ride safe!

Kurt

I'll have to post some pics in a few weeks of some of the mods I have planned for my 05 Fatboy.

I think that you are smart on riding whenever you can and doing mods during the winter. That makes a lot of sense, the way that you have it planned out. Enjoy the ride.
