Many hot rodders are building hot rod bikes to match their four-wheel creations, so it should come as no surprise that Wizard Terry McConnell of Tulsa, Oklahoma, built this 94 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy to match his Pro Street 49 Chevy. What might surprise you is the fact that this super-smoothie was finished in just three weeks! Wizard likes his stuff on the road, you see.
The first order of business was to completely disassemble the just-from-the-showroom Fat Boy. Then all the welds on the frame were ground and smoothed, the drive-belt guard was tossed, and a set of Dick Moss fenders was bolted on. With RC Components 18-inch billet wheels and Metzeler tires on the White Brotherslowered suspension, Wizard decided the fenders needed to be longer in the back to give the bike the proper look, so both fenders were extended 3 inches in the rear. To smooth the back of the bike even more, the license plate holder was molded into the extended rear fender. Then, with all the surfaces prepped, Kavanaugh sprayed on the custom purple paint, and Wizard did the graphics.
To give this looker some go, the Evo heads were ported and polished, an RC Components flywheel was slipped into place, and a Crane cam was loaded to mind the flow. A Pro One air cleaner and White Brothers Porker pipes fell into place after the engine was swung back into the frame to give the whole package some personality. To handle the added spunk, a Barrett Kevlar clutch was called into action.
In the rider-interface department, Wizard bolted up a set of Beach Bars on the stock uprights with Arlen Ness handgrips, and he also cleaned off the gauge area and painted it to match the bike (notice the cool graphics on the speedo). Then some switches were installed on the back of the early FLH headlight housing to operate the lights and the starter.
The Fat Boy is simple yet original, and the whole package works very well. Wizard put about 4000 miles on it in one season, attending local and national shows from Daytona to Laughlin, so he got some quality seat time. Since this bike turned out so well, you can pretty much bet hell build another onethe big question is whether hell build a car to match his next bike or a bike to match his next car!
