I have read and heard that the weight of the solid wheel is in part what makes the Fat Boy Lo so stable when riding it due to the effect of the spinning rim (think like a top). Not to say it wouldn't work with different rims. But that is all I heard about the actually function associated with it.

But I would think as others have noted it is the look of the Lo.

And i do think the bike picks you though. I had looked a number of bikes. Then with much encouragement from buddies went to the Harley dealer. Sat on a few bikes, liked them but was still torn with another brand. Then saw the Fat Boy Lo, it sat so low to the ground, and sat on it. It fit me perfectly and I loved the feel. Looked up and the dealer said the smile on the face made it pretty clear we had found my bike.

Hmm. That probably sounds corny.

 

The best part is getting the bike you like then customizing it to make it your own. I have seen a couple of lo's with some bad a$$ contrast cut wheels that looked great. As for me I like my stock wheels for the time being. Good luck with your purchase.

 

I would be interested in this too. Want to reach a little less, but not sure I want apes. .

 

An option

It's been raining here since 5am so I did my coil relocation today. I used the Sportster horn and put it in the front for now but don't really like it there (or the higher pitched sound). Will probably mount my old horn in the same spot and see if I like it or not. Any other options for the horn mount? TX requires it for the yearly inspection and I actually use it so I can't take it off.

 

Josewales, what risers did you use with your freeway bars? I've been looking at them and I really like the 1.5's but I noticed the risers that carlini has cost 200 by themselves. I'm hoping you found something cheaper. Also if you don't mind how tall are you? I'm 5'9" and I'm trying to get a little more pullback then the stock bars with the 6" risers I have. I'm not really into apes that much so that's not really an option for me.

 

omfg it's almost October..which means for us in the North there's only about 2 more months of good riding weather before mother nature says "Poo on you." I can't think of any other cosmetic changes I want to make to my bike, aside from some touchups (like where I melted a pair of pants to my exhaust pipe and tore the ceramic coating off).. and the only thing that's really screaming in my head is "You have a steady job again..You have paychecks.. You need to tear your engine apart..in your dining room..and put pistons and heads and cylinders on your table and get motor oil in your wheaties.." It's really eating at me to do the FM 107" with the Level B head porting.. Do it... Doooo it..

and yes.. Dining Room Garage:

 

That was one of the coolest pictures I have seen. In the dining room. That just awesome.

 

I was thinking the same thing. I got mine looking pretty much the way I want it. That FM107 kit looks very tempting. I put 255 cams in earlier this year and they made quite a difference, but I would like a lil more kick in the *** when I crack the throttle. There is a local guy who does custom dyno tuning so I may wait and see what it does after that before I go tearing into an engine with less than 5k miles. I know what you mean about the weather we got our leather out to ride Friday night.
BTW that is one of the cooler pics I have seen in this thread, keep us updated

 

Jim, I'm guessing by the home sweet home decoration hanging on the back wall in your "garage" pic that you're married. How?
