Well after 5 years of owning the Fat Bob from new (+20K miles) it still gives lots of miles of smiles. After the dismal Dunlops (5K), I have been very happy with the Avons (running my second set now). This M8 engine has never missed a beat, keeps on running and never lets me down.
Zippers RS 468 cam as well as the exhaust really made a huge difference. The bags were a great add for those long rides having a place for extra bits.
Great looking bikes out there fellas, ride safe!
My only issues with the cobra's were the snakes and British flag, other than that they are a great tire. I've got 20K on my 2018 as well, this is the longest I have owned a bike lol.

Hey SCarty,
I went with an ECM remap at my local speed shop (think its a MasterTune by TTS). You pay for a license (about the same cost as a tuner) but no back and forth communication with a piggy back tuner. Its kind apples and oranges as to which way you go. My way keeps me going back to the same shop for tuning, a piggy back (Dynojet, V&H, etc) lets you tune yourself or go anywhere you like for tuning.
Ride safe!

Reason: missed something
Thanks, I talked to Zippers and they recommend the Thunder Max tuner for their cams that's why I asked. I'm using VH FP3 and seen their cam in the tuner maps and want to install the 468 cam.
I thought I would introduce myself to this group. My name is Lloyd and this is my new-to-me 2018 I just picked up today. I absolutely love it, already.
I would be interested in any parts people might consider selling, especially 3” BSC or CJM risers, or H-D moto bars.
