Default What mod did you change first?

Just finally put my 2007 fat boy on hold. I was going to do the handle bars first but I think the wheel change would take away the stock look.

Most people do pipes and stage 1, but I would suggest that you create an overall plan for the bike and go from there.

I did the Stage I first, because the bike ran like crap without it. Wasn't happy about it either. Shouldn't have to do that with a brand new vehicle, but that's the way it is.

Congrats on the new Fatboy! [sm=partyparty.gif]

The first mod before it left the dealership was pipes.

Once it was home I changed the bars and got another seat and the list goes on and on from there.

Enjoy!

I would put on 1-2000 miles then decide from there what you think needs to change. Might prevent you from spending money on a mod only to realize you needed the money for something else.
