New to the forum, not new to Harleys: 1984 FLH shovel, 1950 Panhead chop, 1989 Sporty, 1993 Heritage Softail, 1998 Heritage Softail (with part-time sidecar), 1999 Sporty with sidecar and now lovin' the 2010 Fat Bob. It's the first Dyna I've owned and the best handling Harley I've had by far. 1000 miles in two weeks and it's still friggin cold here in Maine.
Gonna keep it pretty much stock (and I NEVER do that). I've got black Rinehart 2-1s and K+N intake on the way. Going with brown leather all around; bags,seat, tool bag. Might do some hand striping on the tank top and fenders and a simple graphic on the tank sides.
Attached is a chessy cell phone pic from the day I brought it home. I'm retired Army, OIF veteran, 18 months in Bagdhad. Glad I found this forum, lots of good info here.
