Great day of riding in Connecticut today 80 degrees. I have a question for the Fat Bob community. I have a 2020 Fat Bob w/ABS and 4k miles on it, bought it used. It seems when I push on the rear brake it doesn't even try to slow me down. I know that the front brake is the anchor for stopping, but if I get cut off and need the brake to help stop it doesn't seem like it would help. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

2019 Fat Bob FP3 Auto tune?This topic may well have been covered a few times but cant see any recent posts of experiences with it..
I have a 2019 Fat Bob with standard Hi-flow intake and V & H Short Shots and FP3
Down loaded the map from V&H and am not aware of any major issues but i come from the japs sports bike world so everything is polar opposite to what i am used to.
Was thinking of doing the auto tune to see if there were any noticeable differences.
Any one got any experiences with the same set up, good or bad, that they care to share.

I just ordered the FP3 and getting it on Thursday. I haven't started to explore where is the plug for the ECM to plug the FP3 into. You could save a brother a little time. Would love to hear your feedback on the tuner.

To keep it short...
Remove the left hand side panel and to the front of the wiring behind it is a connector to plug straight in to. I then balanced the FP3 against the wiring and half in the side panel as i fitted it back on. Seemed to fit well.
After that the set up is simple, just follow the instructions on the app etc. oh and You tube of course...
You tube is your friend for anything .. I even used it to change my exhaust...
