Yes the 240 FB does require constant countersteering to keep it leaning. It's not a large amount and nothing intense, it just is a little different until it becomes ingrained. After a year with my bike it feels as much a part of me as any bike I've ever owned in my decades of riding. I wouldn't classify that extra attention, or effort as work though. The bike rolls along and cornering does not seem harder to me, it just requires a slightly firmer touch. And to me at least the appreciable low end grunt of the M8, along with the great look that HD built into the bike puts a smile on my face every time out. YMMV of course.

While it may take a little more effort to get the FatBoy though the tighter bends, it can be done quite consistently if you get aggressive with it. You need to move in the seat a bit shifting your weight into the turns. While it takes a little more work, the reward is well worth it. Just remember to ride within your skill level.

As per legal terms, the Dealer must sell the vehicle with saree guards for registration. But most of us remove that after the registration.

Where'd you get the Chrome wiring/battery case covers?
Those look great.

Thanks. Harley does not provide those side covers in Chrome. So went ahead with chrome plating the stock covers.
