Default Show me your mods

So everyone knows, I rode a 72 Shovel growing up and when I joined the Army I sold it. Got to Hawaii and I bought a..... crotch rocket..... I know I know. Well I sold it and got a 2001 Fatboy so I can feel like a man again. I have 12 inch baby apes on the way, a new solo seat and some 2 inch lowering bolts.

Let me see some pictures of your Fatboys and some of the mods you have to give me some ideas as to the direction I want to go with it.

Nacelle

Nothing like a lot of the other bikes here.

Karsten- What kind of seat is that? I still have the stock seat but it is too thick. I want something like that that sits lower.

And I love those bars! I was really hoping someone had 12s so I could see what it might look like. Sick!

Sorry but the seat wont fit a 2001. The cut off for fitment was 1984-1999, 2000 and newer use a different pan or something.
