Looks ok, pretty stock looking but that's not a bad thing either

Some chrome upper and lower swing arm/ axl covers would look nice

Are you looking at a new air cleaner yet?

Im anti-football...its an f'ing design language flaw. Looks like a Honda Shadow cover from the 90's

Getting nit picky but attention to detail is everything.

The Football has to go.
Blacked out Lay Down Tail Light, Red stop/turn signal Module for rear T/S
Curved Lay Down plate frame over the flat frame.
Solo only seat and add a rack to the fender.
Get a 2 Up seat that would be comfy for the passenger.

Great looking start you have going there....a few thousand dollars more and it might be just about right.....Well, maybe close to just about right. That is unless you get tired of the pipes and want True Duals, Fish Tails and the list goes on.

I like the way the Oil tank is the same color as the Tank and fenders. I think some of the other people with FB Lo's should do the same.

I don't care for apes on softails. To me, they belong on a dyna style bike... Just my opinion.

From what I can see, it looks real nice--harkens back to the day of the original Fatboy with the silver, and love the gold tank emblems. Only change I would make is to lose the skulls, but that's just me.

No offense, but I go the other way. I think apes look the best on the softails. They seem to look a little off on the dynas and baggers to me.
