Tom addressed the fact that there are a lot of installs that just aren't possible for the average guy to do at home, and that's why they made this bike so accessible-so folks can achieve a similar-looking bike simply by bolting on some of the parts showcased on the Fatbook bagger. "A guy is not going to stretch the gas tank in his garage, who's kidding who? But you know what he could do is maybe put on the seat or a dash or maybe even the air suspension, those kinds of things," Tom said.
Drag had a "menu" of parts they wanted to showcase, but at the end of the day that was also up to Tank. "Certainly any of the builders that we work with have their own opinion and we listen to them because they know in a lot of cases better than we do. We give them to some degree full rein on the bike," Tom said.
A wise decision, considering the bike builder is, after all, the one who builds the bike. We think we can all look forward to what Drag Specialties is going to reveal in the future, because so far they have not disappointed the masses yet.
