Default Before and after Pics of my 09 Fatty

Hi everyone. As promised, before and after pics of my 09 Fatboy. I made the latest upgrade this past weekend, adding the Big Daddy 18s. I told my wife this would be my last upgrade, but I'm now considering Shotgun shocks. As you can hopefully see in the pics (If I did it correctly...) I've done a lot to the bike since I got it last summer. As of Saturday 7 April 2012

Man that is a sweet garage (Man Cave) My dream Garage is a set up like that kid had in Tron 2... An Apartment converted out of an old Industrial Garage. Ride bike into living Room on a and park it on a turn table, All Stainless Steal and Leather furnishings and throw in a big HD neon sign.... LOL one of my tool Boxes has a refrigerator and doc for my ipod built in... 1/2 way there...

Oh Bike is great looking also....

The bike looks great. One of my riding buddies has the exact same '09 Fatboy and wants to do the exact same mods. Same spoked wheels and same exhaust. I quite literally just sent him a link to your thread so he can see how good your bike looks. Kudo's man.

The garage to include painting and assembling the worktable and locker was done by my wife over Easter weekend. The only thing I did was come up with the concept plan. We, or better yet, she is not done yet... BTW, you can't see it in the pics, but there is a small frig with cold beer in the other side of the garage. LOL. I
