It is a 19" but it is measured from above the headlight. I like a narrower one though. Contact John at Freedom Shields (john@freedomshields.net) and he will help with the shields - they make many sizes. The cover is great but I installed the gripper pads along the sides on the floor in case it was wet, to give me some better footing.

Looks good but I wonder if you could not tint the oem windshield with a foil like on a car window, I would think this should be possible.

Not that I know of. I talked to my tinter about this a couple of times over the years and he says the only way to do it is with tint spray and that will not look good enough for me! And I do not want it to look like the rear windows of Civics that have purple bubbles all over!

When i had my bagger i tinted my stock shield with 35% car tint. It turned out really good. And lasted 3 years before it started to fade. It can be done. Low budget product is what turns purple LOL.....

Default Three times beeping alarm

As I’ve asked the dealer why my 2019 Fat Boy is beeping everytime three times with two flashes of the indicators he told me that depends on the year of building. Did anyone has the same issue?

You can turn that on or off, dealer should know that anyway.

Thanks. Beeping is ok, but three times instead of two times..that’s the main question. Someone stated is because of the battery from alarm. But in the ecu was no error code
