I've liked fats all along, but totally hate the solid wheels. When I was looking for a second bike, I seriously considered a Fatboy with fat spokes.

Depends on what you’re looking for-I have the 15” wind splitter on mine and am happy with it. The recurve keeps most of the air from hitting you right in the face, it catches a lot of bugs(and misses quite a few), seems like it’s louder with a full face than a half helmet, and in the rain it really doesn’t do jack **** Depends on your height and how much protection you’re looking for. But it’s really low profile so looks pretty good, I barely notice mine

I'd really like to know where you cats that have a 2020 Fat Boy are stashing your V&H FP3's. I tried mounting mine today and I can't find any room at all for it.

Pics would be really good.

Thanks,
Bill

You don't need to keep it on the bike to keep the tune, you can just flash it and pull it off.
You only need to keep it on there if you wanna do auto tune or Glass Dash with your phone.

Sport Glide has the same covers as the Fat Boy so you can check out this video for ideas.
