your not alone, i just picked up a 18 FLFB. learned on old 70's thumpers and on my first HD 97 FLHRI. knee deep in a bar swap right now on the fore mentioned 2018.
any word on the connections for the controls, mainly the canbus in the frame beneath the tank. i didnt mark my Molex connectors. there is red and yellow tape on the female side(to bike) im assuming its for Left and right designation?
Swapped a FatBob shock with a friend today, she wanted lower and I wanted more clearance.
The height change is 35mm, at full extension. Springs are the same rate and you gain 20mm shock travel.
Shocks side by side:
We also swapped the sidestand, as well:
End result, both bikes are now raised/ lowered as desired, and first impressions are that the handling is much improved, and better clearance. My friend can finally flat foot her 2020 FatBob!
G'day from down under
Picked my 114 up early January and I am very impressed coming from a Fatbob. What got me was the look, absolutely taken by the stance and the lines it possessed
Added sundowner seats/SE pipes/sissy bar/wind shield/cruise control and just waiting for some bits to come on the market for highway pegs as I am 6'2 and would like stretch out a bit
Ride is surprising you really need to ride one before bagging them
Really looking forward to seeing others ideas. Gee's thread I have followed wth great interest. Keep them coming
Ride safe and enjoy the Harley's of the future
I have the 114 as well , but I miss the forward controls and stretch from the FatBob also... cant believe the cost to put 3extended controls on near $1700aud
