As soon as you take the "bitch pad" off the rear fender it will start to look like a Fat Bob......it looked so ridiculous that my dealer took it off before he put it on the floor. Looks very cool as a solo seat! And it covers up an awesome paint job on the Bobtail. Custom Brawler Seat is the only way to go on this beast unless missy or hissy wants on the back.
Other than that the only improvement for my eye is the spoiler, as it looks meaner. The midnight chrome derby, timer, and headlight bucket did not fit my eye either, nor did the fender struts and standard black frame. One of the techs took it for a test drive and said the rounded foot pegs are very slippery. The Opal Blue/Hell Fire did look good in the showroom, so it should sell.
Personally, I am glad for my 2009 Blk/Fire.
Hey there 2Fatbob09 - I share your eye for the Black/Fire Qtz. I took delivery of mine at the end of December here in Oregon. For the most part, I'm very satisfied with the factory look - low desire, resistant even, to making any major mods although I do conduct a lot of Google Photo Searching for any mods that catch my eye. Yours is the first I'v seen with the reflectors removed from the Front Forks and the Rear Fender Supports. When I took delivery of my ride, woman from service dept. said I could get them off by heating them up with a Hair Dryer - is that how you got yours off? Was there any residual adhesive left on the bike? If so...how easily did the residual come off / what chemical (if any) was effective?
Finally, curious about your (and anyone else's) opinion about how the Black/FireQtz would look with the Distressed Brown Leather Seat and Saddlebags.
Thanks and Godspeed to you.
