Mines been great. I wanna get some more power out of it and it really sucks going over speed bumps but other than that it's great. Handles good and does everything that I want.

My wife wants off the back of my bob so I told her I would build her her own bike. When I asked what style she wanted she said, exactly like yours only smaller. I was thinking that the 06 883L would be a good starting point. It has the right proportions. Fat tank, apes, paint and a lot of powdercoat will have her in love with it. Has anyone done the fat tank setup?

Thanks for the input everyone.

By the way SkyDoc: that's a very clean looking ride with great lines!
