Hey Jim, did you sell the bike? I didn't word my post right. I think it's great that someone would be willing to pony up that amount. That makes it all worth while that we have a chance to recoup our costs if we decide to sell. I realize that it takes a special build to get that money but it debunks the theory that all money spent on mods is lost when you go to sell.

 

Man, I wish I had the $ to add more mods to my lo. This is THE BEST thread out there. Keep the pictures coming.

 

Hello fellow Lo owners
a quick question, How have you found the quality of the alloy on the rims
im finding down here in Aus that its staining quite easily and even after keeping them very clean ( washing with warm water almost every few days) there are some marks and stains and even pits that will not remove (without serious fine metal polish that will make the rim come up like its chrome)

has anyone else had experience with this i didnt take much notice of it at first so it could of come like this from the dealer

what do you guys use on them to keep them looking like new?

New exhaust on my Lo

 

Probibly a dumb question but after changing out my bars from a few weeks ago I noticed the my rear light isnt comming on. It will light up when I hit the brakes but just as the running light, nothing. I havnt pulled the cover yet but does this just sound like a bulb issue, is this basically a duel stage bulb with multiple filiments?

 

Looks good man, you may want to think about loosing that frnt reflector

 

I use this for my rims:

I just use it on the exposed aluminum not the black paint.
I suppose you could use plain old car wax also.
A word of caution, Only use that stuff on untreated aluminum!
I made the mistake and put it on my Primary and gear box covers and now they are all streaked from the product.
The only aluminum part that that is bare on the Fat Boy Lo according to my dealer parts guy is just that little bit of exposed aluminum on the rims.
So don't use it anywhere else or you will end up ruining the finish like I did.
Hopefully that stuff wears off after 6 months. It said to apply it 2x a year.

 

Oh I am digging it. I am not a fan on how 2-1 looks...but those do look good.

 

Lol i keep forgetting. Ill look at it and say to myself i need to get that off then ill get busy doing other crap. While i was doing the install on the pipes my friends were busting my ***** over the reflectors too lol.

 

I feel exactly the same as you,. Most 2-1 make me sick looking at them but there was something about the look of it that i couldnt pass it up. Im glad i didnt too cause it sounds just as good as it looks.
