    Will a Cam make a difference with passing power on 6th Gear. 2021 fatboy stock just a slip-on exhaust. Getting tired of downshifting on the freeway to pass 😪

    Heritage comes with windshield/passing lamps/saddlebags. I had a 2000 FatBoy, turned it into a Heritage. They use to be sisters not now - more like distant cousins.

    I love the look of far boy. The way I ride I don't love cost of tires or the wanting to stand up in turns so I went with slim. Very happy with my choices

    I often hear that comment. If buying an older model is okay a 2007-2017 has a 200mm rear and 2006-1990’s have either a 130 or 150 section at stock, which is the same as a heritage. Perfect if you love Twin Cam and EVO’s.

    Cool video! The wide steer takes some getting used to, but once you are used to it, you don't really notice it, untill you get on another bike. I have a fat bob, and a lowrider st. I do like the fat boy though, would be cool to see one blacked out, but it wouldn't be a fat boy anymore.

    But once you figure it out the turns are fun, just gotta move your hips when going fast in the corners to get more lean. Yeah they had a blacked out series with the final twin cam models, but the rear tire was not fat, pretty much a different bike than the m8. Imagine a blacked out enthusiast ICON release, I’ve heard rumors…

    Tried riding the Fatboy and I find it difficult to find the neutral at first. But it seems it had something to do with how fully engaged the clutch lever is. I have 08 1200 GS and wanted to try a cruiser. I was wondering if the clutch lever can be adjusted a bit narrower on the clutch engage? I am using a two finger clutch hold and noticed from the vid you got your 4 fingers over the lever?

    Neutral can be allusive on all Harley’s, I own two and each one has its unique quirks. My 4 finger hold is because I’m a newer rider air to the side of caution on any bike I’m unfamiliar with. Outside of adding adjustable levers I’m not knowledgeable enough at this point to discuss other options with the OEM lever other than adjusting for tension or stiffness. Perhaps another reading this can weigh in.

    Coming from a 2015 Victory Hammer 8-ball .will I be disappointed with the fat boy? When it comes down to power jumping onto a freeway? Live in a very congested area.😤

    As you saw in my video it gets up there fairly quick. The specs are very similar to your 8 ball maybe 10-12% improvement. Will it be a disappointment? I dunno. Ride it and the Breakout 117 at a demo day or your local dealer and see if either will be enough improvement over your current scoot.

    Hi again Today I test rode a 2018 fatboy with 5700 miles. Im New to Harleys, is it normal with the Vibration even at high speed? No wobbling nothing like that.

    Vibration is normal at higher speed if you're in a lower gear at 4-5000 rpm, shift up and it smooths out. It will never smooth out to be like a Parallel Twin motor like a Japanese brand, a vtwin isn't known for creamy smooth. However the M8 vtwin design is smoother than previous designs like the twin cam and evolution motors.

    HD loves beach bars. Easy pass on DOT requirements and easy for all rider types to handle and the service department makes money on those of us who want apes. But the VVT 121 ci in the CVO isn’t the answer. Ride one and you’ll see. Better to just bore it out or get the 117 to 122 or 128 screaming eagle kit.

    It's not motorcycling if you got bags, windshield, and all that other nonsense. Fat Boy - good looking except for that UGLY headlight fixture thingy with an LED light. What the hell were they thinking? I can't begin to tell you how LED headlights suck so much but they're definitely Wrong for me with any vehicle-especially at night.

    Some bikes, the look of LED doesn’t work, choppers for instance. Funny how HD includes halogen bulbs on other bikes and choose LED for others.
