Default New FatBoy

I just ordered a 2006 Police edition Fatboy should have it in 2 months. I am lookinf for customizing ideas so far I am planning to lower it put on some diamond 80 spoke wheels with white wall tires, Vance and Hines long shots, chubby bars, Le Pera solo seat. I want to go for a cool heritage look that should compliment the blue police edition color. I am looking for lowering tips and hop up perf. tips if anyone has any ideas please let me know. Aslo has anyone tried the new centrifugal clutch.

Howdy, welcome to Harley Country. I don't really know what I would do in the way of mods on a FB, but it sounds like you are off to a good start. I'm sure that somebody will be along soon that will be able to help you out. Enjoy the ride.

I hope you have a big checkbook - I upgraded to 18" PM wheels and Metzler Tires (140 front / 160 rear). I lowered the rear 1.5", upgraded to 95" (not the HD factory kit) but one that pumps out 95+ HP and similar torque, next comes the 6-speed baker transmission with closer gear ratios and a real over drive so 70mpg is around 2700rpm. As you can see from the previous photo I have spent a small fortune in HD and Aftermarked parts from Corbin, Kurakyn (excellent quality), Custom Chrome, JIMs, Baker, Performance Machine and more. Now its the way I wanted -- for now!
