On bars I tell others to sit on the bike, while having someone hold her upright.
Close Ur eyes and put Ur feet on the floorboards, then get comfortably and reach Ur hands out to where U feel good. At least U'll start out Ergonomically correct for Ur fit...Measure where Ur hands are and go from there.
Pipes are very personal as far as whats loud,,,,U need to visit some places where there are a lot of bike and listen to and for the sound U want;
Windshields is the same as pipes, Very personal.
I've had one for yrs and use mine 99%,,, But U may hate one if U've never had one before...
All three of these need to fit Ur needs, not someones else's for U to enjoy Ur bike.
Congrats on your bike and make her Ur own. U will enjoy and appreciate her more when U do..

Welcome from wisconsin, I bought a 2010 fatboy lo in october, mine has 10" mini apes and mustache engine guards, don't have a windshield, I think it would look odd on it, my opinion, I have pictures on my profile of it with the apes, etc, check it out, mine is black denim, which color did you choose?

Welcome to the forum from Georgia! I don't have any answers to your questions, but you may want to try posting those questions under the Softails forum. You'll probably get more Fatboy owners opinions there.

I can comment on the windshield question: I leave mine off until the temp breaks 55 degrees. Welcome to the Forum from cold and snow covered Indy waiting on Spring.
