Thanks Fat Boy USA,
I looked at the bags you have to start with,
but I may go with those new bigger model they made this year,
if it doesn't cover up to much of the rear wheel.
I like the color of your bike.

 

Nice FATBOY dude, I love the look of the pipes in combination with the wheels. I now know I want to lift my tank. Can you post a pic of the bike at a quartering towards the camera so I can see the engine guard in combination with the tank lift?

 

Texas Fatboy,

Bike look great!!! Liking the look of that tank too. I went to the link you provided us. One guy said his fuel gage does not work because of the angle. Is this true for your bike?

I'm not sure what you mean but here goes

 

or this one,
is this what you meant?

 

My gas guage seems to work fine.
I think it will read less than what is actually in there.
But all the gas should come out, the gas petcock is on the back bottom.

The gauge and low fuel sensor is probaly more in the middle of the tank.
My low fuel light came on once at 160 miles and I only put in 3.6 gallons.
I usually fill up at the 140 mile mark, so that (low fuel light) has never happened to me before.

Somebody on here did a test and said it holds very close to factory specks when full,
but the low fuel light would come on a little quicker.
and from what I've been warned about the low fuel light (you had better find a gas station fast, when that sucker comes on) that would be a good thing.

 

That's not an accuate saying,
because that was right after startup
and we all know that it tanks a little while for the gauge to catch up after startup.
and I think it was still on when I got to the station but that was only11/2 miles from my house.

 

Thanks, that would be my concern that the fuel gage still works.

BTW,
What is that chrome piece above your rear jug and oil tank, just under the seat? Never seen this before...

 

It a heat shield from Kuryakyn to save your thighs. Saddle Shields they call them.
They don't look like would work but they do.
They come clear or tint polycarbonate (plastic, not chrome). Mine are the tinted ones.
From one way they look chrome, the other way they look tinted.
Here's the J&P link: http://*******.com/yqyt44

Here's what the ad says about them:
Ever sit in stop-in-go traffic or at that 4-way stoplight that never seems to change on a hot summer day and the heat coming off your motor is just about unbearable? Kuryakyn's™ frame mounted polycarbonate shields are perfectly positioned on the frame to dissipate and re-direct the heat away from you and your thighs. So on your next hot weather outing, use a pair of Saddle Shields to help you enjoy your ride no matter how hot!

Fine looking Fatboy
