Default Bought my first HD ~ 2011 Fatboy Lo.

My recent posts thought about and imagined it.

But I dropped the cash down yesterday finally for my very first HD. Hawt damn I am jacked. Can't wait for spring to get the hours on it and be rdy for Sturgis The fatty should be in my man cave some time middle of February when finished.

I thought about the regular fatboy for customizing color /w chrome in the future, but my gut and heart couldn't refuse the lo's retro.

The staff here in Calgary at Kanes HD was awesome! Jennifer TY. Also, I like to thank these forums for valued reads in the last few weeks....it helped made my decision very easy

/cheers

The photo here, which probably is one of our member's is exactly what I ordered.

Right now, I've only got a few minor cosmetic things going on. But in the future, I'd like to change it up. I've got a couple different directions I want to take, just need to make up my mind which one I want. I like the way it looks right now with the contrast it has with the brushed look against the denim black, but then at the same time I want it all blacked out!! Not sure, just gonna take it one step at a time. I'm putting the edge cut stuff on, as soon as the dealer gets the stuff in that I ordered 2 weeks ago. Not sure why it's taking so long. Gonna do a different speedo/tach. Thought about putting on a custom saddle, but haven't found anything that I REALLY like yet. My wifes opinion on all this is very important to me too, since she's the one that surprised me with it for my birthday.
