Default finally some pics - FatBoy 'S' in Denim with some mods

I managed to finally get out on the bike today for a short ride, woohoo! Haven't ridden her for well over a month due to a bad illness and the great Scottish weather. While I was out I thought I'd take a few snaps to share with you guys as I've not posted any pics of my FatBoy yet. Hope you like her.

Nice. Very Nice.
Is that standard height rear suspension??

Would you be kind enough to measure the seat bolts under the pillion seat that hold the drivers seat on centre to centre for me please?

Weird request I know, but you're the first person I've seen with one. Thinking ahead here, could my backrest fit on if I bought one. 110 inch motor is too much temptation..............

Thank you. The rear suspension is standard which I believe is the same as the LO so 1 inch lower than the standard Fatboy.
I will PM you the bolt measurement after I go in the garage again, I believe though it's the same as another fatboy.

The Lo international version is the same height as standard, only actually Lo in the states. That looks standard to me from the photo. Only reason I ask is that I find the lowered factory suspension too harsh for my back, and had to change the Deluxe shocks to the standard ones, as the Deluxe has the US Lo shocks on it. Confusing I know.
I would put my Deluxe seat and backrest on the Fatboy if I changed, hence asking the bolt spacing.

I found out about the S versions just after I took delivery of the Deluxe, was a bit annoyed, but then I got an end of registration deal on mine, so can't complain.

Great looking Fat Boy!

Hope you are able to really get out and ride soon. Here in Southern California the weekend looks to be nice, so planning to get some good riding in.

We have got a severe weather warning for gale force winds and snow tonight and tomorrow, the joys . At least I managed to get out today for a short ride in a dry spell.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments.
