Default Need some inspiration. Need pics of custom fatboys

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.

that bike is beautiful! Great color, almost looks like it glows! Good call on not cutting stock tins. Really good looking bike as is.

That is a beauty just like it is! I don't think I would change a single thing. But, that's just the way I am.

WOW, Mr. Hattitude, - I could have gone without seeing that pic.....
But, that would be a good one to have on the refrigerator door to discourage that nighttime TV snack.

Owned two FB's, built them totally different. I never cared for freeway/beach bars, always been an ape kind of guy.
The first an '05 Anniversary edition 95CI. Ok for puttin around short distance.
The second I put a lot of miles on, very comfortable, '19 FLFBS,

You've got a good eye, Bill, but I knew that.
The '05 was Carlinis Freeway bars and piston risers, piston riser no longer available if I rem correctly.
Carlini bars most everything I've owned, couldnt afford BR's...*laffs
