Fat Train, Night Boy, whatever -- it's what I wanted
I had a bad arm injury last year and missed the entire riding season. So . . . I bought a 2005 Black Pearl Fat Boy with only 126 miles on it -- and worked on it with mostly one arm. It took a while, but by the time my arm was better, I could mount tires, etc. Wrenching on the FB was almost as much fun as riding it is now.
I used lots of HD accessories, a bunch of Night Train parts, a few Cross Bones pieces, Wild Ones bars and clamp, V&H slip-ons, Magnum Shielding cables, and a whole heck of a lot of black semi-gloss powder coating (don't bother trying to polish the aluminum wheels: HD's castings are too porous).
Anyway, the pictures here do not do it justice; it looks even better than my blacked-out pewter denim Street Bob (which is sick in its own right -- and is now for sale, by the way -- ha).
