They're nice and beefy like they should be on a FATboy!

Ha! Thanks my brother! I dropped some good coin in that one. I had it free and clear, but had to use the funds for a priority with family at time. I got back up and running. Here is my most recent one... it is an upgrade, but damn I don't know which one is better.

I know I am just showing off... but, really am proud of my bikes. I appreciate what you said about my fatboy a lot. I poured my heart and soul into it. Did most work myself, so if you ever have any Q's on yours hit me up. Around this area it was one of the nicer ones for sure.

Cheers bro!
