OH hell yes..get the paint! Get something ghosted in. That way you can keep the black and add something to pop! Nice win!

I would sell it for a $1000 cash or some mod exchange of some kind, but you will regret painting the denim black bro.

Leave it. But, If you put paint on it some where, make sure you run that theme through the whole sled.

Nice win though, good problem to have lol.

I like both of your ideas as long as the denim stays.

Or, you could buy a set of tins and have those painted instead. I like the idea someone had of selling the paint job...then you have some cash to throw back at the bike.

I agree, you can't change the Denim. On the other hand, you can't walk away from the $2K freebie. Thus, the only logical thing to do is buy another Harley Davidson with a crappy paint job and get her taken care of.

They are stock fx softail controls. Any set from 07 and up will fit the 200 tire fatboy.

hey i've got another question for this thread which somewhere has probably been asked but heavens to betsy there's 133 pages to this so i can't scroll back through... but..

what do you guys use to clean your engines and really bring out that black?

and i just bought the fender bib from harley and when i put it on i noticed there's alot of white scuffs all over it.. is that normal and can they be buffed out, or should i take it back and get a new one?
