need to see it in a wider view with whatever else you've done to the bike.. but, this is just my opinion, chrome and bling doesn't belong on a FatBoy Lo

I am a person who is all about the details. To me, the wings being partially exposed by the trim looks tacky.

from looking at just those 2 pics, i would say leave it off. BUT i going for more of a blacked out look for my lo. so my opinion is a bit biased... plus i'm not sure what the rest of your bike looks like (it might work for yours). also i don't think it fits well blends on fender.

i agree with jim... imo lo's aren't meant to be chrome ******, but either way at the end get what you like and make it yours!

here are some full frontal pic's, i may have solved my conundrum, left it laying on the fender and went for a ride, got back and found it flattened on the garage floor, now I'm in the should i bend it back or screw it to the wall stage.

Just put that trim on my FB. But I agree, on a Lo I wouldn't add the bling.
