Just traded my 22 Street Glide Special in for a new Fatboy, for exactly the reason you said. It’s just too big and heavy to manoeuvre for me now, always frightened I’ll drop it! Hopefully the Fatboy will be a lot easier to manage.

I think you will enjoy the FB!

I have the 21 Fat Boy in Gauntlet grey and vivid black. I went with the Freedom Performance 2to1 side dump exhaust in chrome of course, and the Trask see-through air cleaner. She sounds amazing and looks killer. My bike got featured (few pictures shown) on the 'Canadian Saint' channel, and the video is titled '2024 harley davidson reveal / disappointing'. He shows my bike then talks about the current lineup. Anyway, I LOVE my Fat Boy, it's perfect for me. But yes it needed a stage 1 upgrade big time. They sound like a Honda Shadow or Rebel off the showroom floor.

So love the Fat Boy! Definitely a favorite. I recently considered one but found the BMW R18 Roctane to be equal in terms of fit finish and had much better optioned for about $9k less.

Yeah, Harley doesn't make it easy on the wallet!

pretty quiet. still single pin crank?

100ci is more than enough, but do they make a 100ci ? took 70 years to get 103 twin cam .

ya'll ever lower yourselves to work on metric cruisers???

It really pisses me off how much they gouge bikers on bike tires. I have to pay about $380 installed just for a rear tire on my sportster. I just ordered an entire set (4) of all season car tires 215 60R16 and paid $320 installed.

It's ridiculous. How can they make a 60,000 mile tire for a car, ut on a bike, if you hit 12K, you're doing good?
