Thats why you modify its to stand out and make it our own plus its still a harley if you like who gives a sh*t. My motto you modify anything according to your needs. Its all good your bike looks great!!

I like it.I think the 21" looks tons better.Like the fairing and bags as well.Its nice to have the ability to change the bike according to your ride.There are times I wish I had some storage and a shield or fairing.

you SG guys are stuck with what you got.
Nope, not me. When I want to ride a Fatboy, I go hope on my Fatboy. No stripping required.

When I said you SG guys were stuck with what you got I meant you can't take the fairing or bags off and make it into a different bike. I don't know about the other guys but I'm glad I've got one bike. I hope to have another bike soon. It will be a sport touring bike of some sort so I can take the FB and do exactly what you said make it a Fat Boy. But for now it has to be more then a Fat Boy.

Would you mind posting a picture of your bike? I would like to see how "stock" it is. Just saying.

I think it looks great, not my favorite type of wheel but I think the fender looks fine. When going from a 16 to a 21 definetly heavier but I haven't noticed a different in ride quality! You'll get use to it. Looks great bro!!

IMHO a slightly wider tire would look better.

I want a wider tire in that 21" rim style on the front of my Night Train.
