Scraping the boards is just part of riding the lo in my opinion. I scraped them pulling out of the dealer on my testdrive, and scrape them everytime I ride. They are aluminum so you don't have to worry about rust. Its fun in a way, it is very loud and obnoxious

 

I prefer the term "sharpening" the boards...

 

+1 I like

 

Got the 2013 fat boy lo last Saturday and i love it! I got the candy orange, and it looks pretty cool l,it kind of has a bit of a red tint to it, especially in the sunlight. The mix of black and orange is balanced out nicely. I've already scrapped the left footboard but that's just part of it. I can't seem to stop anywhere without someone saying how good it looks, and i haven't even done anything to it yet, lol!

 

PIctures of Orange FB LO PLEASE!!

 

coming from sportbike's I still can't get used the the harsh grinding sound it makes

it makes me every time I hear it

 

I can't seem to upload pics here. You can go to my profile page and check out the album cover.

 

I'm going next month to order mine. I want the orange but might just go with good ol black.

 

Just picked this up for my wife. It is an iPhone pic.
