I like when guys try to match the engine gaurd designs to there handlebars, like same shape and curves, but that's my opinion. That phantom engine gaurd looks bad azz!

Let me know what you guys think.

Man that looks great, I'm looking at a Reckless project this winter-just waiting for the money truck to stop by the garage. A light bar (one piece) and a french headlight ring and you in bidness.
If I could get a Hoppe for that price with electronics I'd be all over it..............really nice looking!

I got the shorter screen mounted on it and must say I like it a whole lot better now. I also ordered a smooth Heritage style front fender as well. I'm going to have it painted up by our body shop and see which I like better. I'll post pics as soon as I have them.

Yep, it was one heck of a deal. I guess the color scared folks off, but it was perfect for me. The cheapest Hoppe I had found anywhere before this one was $900.00 used and would still need paint.

Love the Fatboy.
What speakers did you use to fill the holes in your Quadzilla fairing? I got a great deal on mine, but I don't like the speakers. Trying to upgrade but having a time finding something that fits!
Any suggestions?
