Well I think (!) .... I have everything I want for my 2023 Fat Boy Anniversary. I'll add pictures when I pick up bike this weekend.
It's in shop right now for the 1K service and Stage 1 (VH Eliminator 300s slip-ons) and 2 (torque cam). Have a windshield, sissy bar/backrest for wife, Saddlemen Explorer (so much better than stock!), moustache engine guard, swing arm bag.
Only thing I am a little annoyed by is I wanted to do the VH Big Shots, but the exhaust didn't fit. VH website says they do, and the initial guy the dealer and I talked to on the phone said it showed it would fit. A little more digging though, we found the exhaust won't on the newer FB. I remember seeing someone else post about Big Shots not fitting their FB.

I'm probably late, but If you want an alternative to the BigShots/Short shots that actually do fit,

FUELPASS for their discount code.
If you're like me and ok with Slip-Ons, I recommend you head over to DKCustom, and get a pair of 118W Thunder Torque Inserts and install them into the baffle of the Eliminator 300s.
Use the very last hole of the baffle perforation as a guide for where you need to drill the hole in the baffle.
Those Slip-ons are straight through so they have reversion issues which will lose you low end torque. The TTIs fix that.
I have this setup on my bike right now.
More parts arrived today for my winter project
Thunderbike Rear Fender Steel 260 with tail light and turn signals

Just wondering if anybody has put the BatWing Fairing on their Fatboy and if so, do they have any pictures?
Glenn, Saw this guy on FB who wanted a touring setup but didn’t want a touring bike…wanted it on the Fatboy. He changed out the headlight as well to work with this fairing. Here is the post I took a pic of:

I'm planning to do the same upcoming winter, I would say, buy enough bondo because I personally think that is the only drawback to the TB metal fenders.
I speak from experience, I have already done a conversion with such a fender from TB on my Breakout.
Sold my 2018 fat boy. Just couldn't get comfortable on it. I also refuse to do business with any company that fails to stand behind their product. Right side tire wear is brutal on these bikes and problem still not addressed after 6 years. Time to move on to something else. Keep the shiny side up.
