Default Fatboy mods

Decided to take advantage of this freezing weather to Mod up the Fatboy Lo. Added the black headlight trim, backrest and flush fuel caps. The stock seat I had totally recovered by a guy I work with who normally recovers aircraft seats. Had him put the Bar and shield on the seat, and black Ostrich accents, baseball stitching around the edges, and better quality of leather as well. He definitely is a master at customizing seats.

Bike is looking good. Funny - I just had seat redone for my Fatboy in black leather with ostrich accent and stitched bar & shield. I am very happy with how it turned out. Here's a pic:

The black ostrich looks good. I'm trying to keep the bike simple, not any hit you in the face Mods. I think the seat fits that well, and for two bills I thought it was worth it.
