Those bars really set your bike off!! I am diggin' your ride.

The first set of rims that Hogpro posted would be killer on your bike.

A 180 would be sick, but I believe it would be very close on the FL front end. Isn't the FX front wider?
Thanks! only a few guys running strippers around here, def a great looking bar and not one you'll see everywhere. My wiring is in the bars, but since I'm running the GripAce, only 2 small wires for that on the left, and 2 small wires for the brake light switch on the right. Been toying with the idea of 160 WW front and rear. Still playing with photoshop to see what the different wheel options look like. I think the FX does have more space, maybe it's because the beer cans on the FL take up so much room.

Rear signals are from Heartland. I painted the lenses black with VHT night shades. They come clear.

Hadn't realised this post was about your bike, mentioned it on the Polish guys post, as I said there really nice bike if I had a Fatboy that's exactly how it would look, nice to see you ditched the semi tail dragger rear fender in favour of the Heartlands kit, bars suit it as well, if I wasn't so old I'd be tempted to sell my Train and get a Fatboy and copy you.

Nice job.. they really flow with Ur bike..

It was nice to see Ur remark about the labor. Some in here just don't understand how much work it is to do some jobs. AND do it right.

I try to do as much as possible to her but somethings I just won't mess with..

Being old and with my messed up back I just can't get up and down anymore like I did when I was in my 40's and 50's. And if i do I'll be down for 2-3 days afterwards and taking pain pills which I hate to do. Clean her and change the oils is bout it anymore and I do that on the lift.
