Default Help for the large guy

I found the Fat Boy I had to have and picked it up 2 days ago. A 2003 Special Edition in great shape and pretty much all decked out. I just keep going out in the garage and staring at it. Even though I do not need anything for the bike I do need to find a few items like gloves and a jacket for me. Where is the best place to find these in large sizes. I probably need a 3x glove and a 4x or 4xt jacket. Any recomendations would be appreciated.

Howdy, welcome aboard. Thanks for the pic of your FB, sure looks great. When I wanted a leather jacket and other things, I just started going to my local motorcycle shops and looking at what they had until I found what I wanted. I like to be able to try on what I am buying first to see if it is really what I want. Enjoy the ride

Hi, thanks for all the welcomes. I found a local shop that had a jacket and gloves for me. My wife tagged along and came away with a jacket, vest, boots, glasses, and who knows what else was in those bags.
