I’m to old to ride anymore, I leave it to my son, and to be honest, I never cared for the look of the fat boy, but I can honestly say that fat boy is something I’d be proud to ride. It reminds me of a muscle car restomod. Stock looking , but improved. 👍

Good stuff Billy. I like how you do "Rider builds" like this one, instead of just "full custom" and "show bike" builds. Those front forks came apart with the same components as my 2000 FXDWG. I made a bushing install tool out of PVC tube. I'd like to just hang out in the shop and watch you work someday. I'll go pickup lunch and do the afternoon beer run. 😆

PVC is actually a great idea. I’m a springer guy, & seldom mess with hydraulic forks. I haven’t used that tool in 20 years, probably. I’m going to move my shop later this year, I’ll probably have some open shop days once I re-settle

I would get a FXR to go with it but I am like you the softails are just bad ass looking especially with that seat it just flows with the frame, I have the exact seat without the basket weave just smooth finish.

Nicely done Billy. Been admiring and following your builds since the 90s. Agreed that these older softails can look good with a little love and getting rid of all the bolt-on farkles, stripping down to expose its essence and original design. Less is more. I keep a passenger seat at home for my 05 Deluxe, but rarely run it because I think it ruins the lines of the bike. Sometimes, a mexican blanket fills in if a passenger wants a ride. Really enjoying the content you put out.
