Hi All;
As you can read I'm a newbie. I belong to other automotive forums, and I know they are a great source of information, as well as bargains.

My bike is an 03 Fatboy. I bought it around April of 03, and since then I've put in a Stage II big bore kit, Screaming Eagle Heads, SE exhaust, and a K&N filter. I have it set up with a Mustache bar, bags, cruisin pegs etc. The bike is awesome. Never a back fire, and she purrs at the higher RPM's. I could go on and on, but I'm sure you get the picture. I don't get to ride the bike as much as I'd like to because of the seasonal constraints in New York, as well as my job (ugh). Sorry about the long post.

Joe B.

I too am new to this forum. Will post some pics of my '03 anniv silver/black Fatboy. Its been lowered, thunderheaded and chromed out with road king type beefy bars. When I did the new pipes, also did download to stage 1 - I love these pipes.

Does anyone know off hand what kinda $$$ to covert 88 to 95 or even larger??
