My FB Anniversary with SE 117 stage 4. Nr 25/900.
After 1600 miles I am very happy with my Fat Boy. The engine runs like a dream.

Do you feel any tension when moving the bars from one side to the other with the front wheel off the ground? Or a tendency for it to always pull one way?

The steering is heavier but only when pushing the bike around. I haven’t noticed any other issues but I’ve only put a few miles on it. Also I think 7” is about the minimum if you’re going to go with blinkers in the original location. Any lower and they’ll hit the tank

Not sure what you mean by the part I boldened. I brought mine up 2" and back 2" and have no issues.
