the bike looks awesome! I have been painting 35 years for a living, If the guy etched the metal good the painted primary should hold up pretty decent. Stone chips on the bottom and boot scuffs could be some issues. Lots of clear over the paint should help with the durability.

Thanks! I know paint chips will be guarantied! It never fails lol.


I had a 2008 anv. FLHX before this and it was a great bike, but I really missed the 05 carbed fatboy I had before it. I knew this bike would be a night train. I love how they look. I bought the bike road it home, the next weekend it was in parts. I replace pretty much the whole bike except the motor. Only thing done to it is EV27 and dyna i2000 ignition. I'm thinking of replacing it with a monster evo next winter.

Bike looks great, I like the idea of not buying a new bike and building you're own instead.
