skate do you have a ballpark on weight after she's rigged? your build sounds like its going to be one bad ass dependable ride!!

Yes all Fatboys have a busel and a tunnel extension. Louie's is getting something special there that will work with his set up better.

I know it has been posted before but I can't find it. What acronym do you use for the different Skater models and what do they mean.

For example the 308 outboard, 308 inboard w/o bussel, 308 w/ bussel, 308 w/ bussel and widened AKA Fat Boy.

So what would call Louie's rig.

That sounds like a fantastic package Sam, looking forward to the results! Is the power going to be FI? If so, what's planned?
