Hello

Name is Warren, I have a new to me '97 Fatboy with just over 30,000 kms. Always (can't stress enough) always wanted one since I first saw it. I was on this site when I was looking for advice for bagging it and a quick conversion back and forth to a street glide. Both to me represent Harley's best two styles but love them all.

I can't find the forum again but signed up hoping I can find it, the pictures were a little fuzzy but the lines looked great. Any advice to care for this bike is greatly appreciated as I grew up on metrics, Cheers!!
