Default made a few mods to the fatboy

i know its not as new as some of the ones on here (darn near an antique by most standards) , but i love it

its a 2000 fatboy with 2200 miles on it (that was when i got it in June)

i'll post a few pics of what it looked like when i got it, and what it looks like now

i added the following:

-changed the pipes from big growls to vance and hines big shots staggered
-added smoked turn sig lenses front and rear
-swapped out the rear brake light for a Kuryakan smoked lens with LED bulb
-put on a curved licence plate bracket
-added a detachable sissy bar and modded it so i could keep the stock rear turn sigs
-took off the hypercharger and put on a ness big sucker

i just wanted to post some pics up, and look forward to any recommendations you guys would have, thanks

BEFORE:


THE FIRST THING I DID WAS CHANGE THOSE PIPES:



NOW:

It looks good. So rarely do i see the same stock paint job as I have on my bike. I dig it. Here is mine many moons later.

It looks good. Affordable mod suggestions - remove reflectors, polish lower forks. They turn out real nice.

I'm curious, does the Ness Big Sucker stick out further than the Hypercharger?
