1998 fatboy. The bike is sentimental so I can't cut on it but I have a new set of fenders and a new tank I can mess with. I am thinking about going with a shorter rear fender and using stock fender struts with custom strut covers and a chopped front fender. Also want to run 18 inch wheels front and rear. Will the 18s in the rear be an issue? Post pictures please I need to see some fatboys that are customized to give me that final push to get going.

The only thing I'd put on that Fatboy is WAX and the last thing would be 18s. I did 18/16 to my Heritage. I liked it in the beginning but after a year I wasn't fond of it at all. Every time I walked away and looked back it wasn't the Classic Heritage I fell in love in with. So to stay the least, the Fat 52 spokes came off and back to 16s, not to mention the issues I had with the wheels. She's a sweet looking bike.

Is it the "Deep Cobalt" or "Pacific Blue Pearl"...... or is it a custom color...

In any event, I'd perhaps change out the bars on that beauty and maybe a cover here/there or a set of nice spoked wheels but that would be about it. She's a beaut! In fact, I'm half tempted to throw you an offer for it to keep her as she sits so you can go mod another one. But I understand the sentimental aspect of it. Good luck with your decision on how you move forward...just keep the old parts so you don't end up as I did on my SG. let us know what you do and pics are always appreciated.
Just for giggles, below is a pic of my 2005 FB. Paint, bars/nacelle ,exhaust, doo-dads and chromed. Still has the FB look with uncut tins.
