Gerard bought his 2020 Fat Boy brand-new from Port City Harley-Davidson in Port Macquarie and the first thing he did was, “Completely strip it down to the frame and paint all the silver components black.”
“Then we rebuilt the engine with a 128-cube S&S Big Bore kit, S&S 550 cam and D&D 2-into-1 carbon fibre Bobcat exhaust – which sounds phenomenal, like an absolute weapons system! And we upgraded to a Screamin’ Eagle billet manifold,” he enthused. “It also has S&S 605 high lift valve springs, S&S head bolts, S&S tappet cuffs, a Fueling rocker stud kit, Screamin’ Eagle adjustable pushrods, a Maximus tuner and Black Ventilator installed.
All the engine covers were replaced with gloss black genuine parts. Gerard then added Performance Machine Torque mirrors on two-inch diameter Burleigh 12” Highball handlebars sitting on two-inch risers.
