As my former Triumph owner my 1st Harley, an '01 Fat Boy is the ride of my life! It's 11 months old and I'm approaching 10,000 miles. Two thousand of which were a one-week trip to the mountains of GA, NC and TN. This bike is the ultimate comfort machine for my 5' 8", 220lb. frame. Ten hours in the saddle and I was as fresh as when I began. I've put over $5,000 in a 2-into-1 V&H Pro Pipe, Thunderstar wheels, chrome brake calipers w/polished brake rotors, chrome forks/sliders, chrome switch housings and front brake reservoir, detachable sissy bar & windshield and a variety of other small items. The V&H Pro Pipe provides me 3 distinct benefits. The first is increased power on the low end. Second is a deep "throaty" sound that typifies the Fat Boy appearance. Third is the elimination of my wife melting her black boot heels on the original pipes. I've ridden other Harleys and find myself at home on the Fat Boy!
