Hi Bruce, I had a similar experience, traded a 2017 Road Glide Special for an ‘18 FLFBS and haven’t looked back. These new Fat Boys ride great! I live in California now, but am from Massachusetts, lived in New Hampshire for many years, and was a member of Winnipesaukee H.O.G. in Meredith. Hope they had good weather for Laconia this year. It’s an awesome sight seeing all the Harley’s at Weirs Beach.

Mike

Hey Mike, we had perfect weather. We went to a Zac Brown concert Friday night and then Saturday to bike week. The promoters changed the dates one week earlier a few years ago so it ends on father's day instead of starting on father's day. And sure enough it is going to rain all next week. We had 3 days of 75-80 degrees, perfect New England weather. I bought the windshield for the trip, and haven't taken it off. The Fatboy rode great, we both love it. My wife never liked the Ultra.

Nice Bike.. I have the same 18 Fatboy but an 107 motor. Where did you get your saddlebags?

Thanks, idntnojp. Those are the HD detachable saddlebags. They need the license plate/rear turn signal relocation kit.

Hi Guys,

Anyone with a bolt in cam upgrade running a 2 into 1 D&D fat cat (638Z-32B) exhaust for better performance on their 2018 fatty?
  1. If so, does it scrape before the floorboards when riding semi aggressive?
  2. If not, what exhaust are you running to complement the cam for better performance?
Thanks in advance

Has anyone found a cruiser peg that works, or can be adapted for, the 2018 floorboard mounts? I really want pegs but don't really want an engine guard or mustache bar.

Default Switches

I recently changed handle bars on my 2018 FLFBS and I can’t remember if my switches are supposed to illuminate. Can anyone check their bike to tell me if the shop forgot to wire up my switches. For the life of me I can’t remember. Thanks.
