Hi all. New member here based in the UK.Posted this in the welcome section too but I guess this is the Fat Bob section so here goes...

Had my '23 FXFBS Fat Bob 114 since around August and I absolutely love it.
Just clocked 1000 miles and she's booked in for her first service and Stage 2 with the SE Torque Cam/Black Pushrod covers/tappet covers to keep warranty.

List of mods so far with some parts in transit or to be fitted soon.
- Screaming Eagle Heavy Breather Elite Air Intake
- Vance and Hines short shots with Stg1 Tune
- Avon cobra chrome tyres with 200 rear
- Black brake/clutch levers
- Heinz bikes front indicator/markers
- Kuryakyn chin spoiler
- HD Defiance black speedo bezel
- HD Pop up fuel cap
- HD Willie G Derby cover
- HD Willie G Timing cover
- HD black gear shift link/arm
- HD Seat QR ****
- Cult werk mirrors under bars
- Cult werk plate relocation bracket
- Kodlin Rear turn/3in1 markers
- Arlen Ness fusion grips and rider/passenger footpegs
- HD Extended Turn Signal Switches
- Custom Extended Forward Controls (Drag specialties brackets/Custom HEL performance lines)
- Crossthread Cycles brake and shift arms with V1 pegs
- Saddlemen Renegade LS solo seat
- Killer Customs Aggressor front Fairing (to be painted)
- OEM Fat Boy/Breakout/Sport Glide rear shock (lowers the bike) (54000112)
- Sides of tank wrapped matt black to cover grey parts
- Rear of speedo wrapped gloss black
- SP Connect bar mount with wireless quadlock charger on anti-vibration mount

To fit...
- Sport glide kick stand - shorter than the Fat Bob
- Dark Parts Low Risers (70mm) OR a set of FAT 2" rise/2" thick bars from Fortress/Burleigh/GR Customs
- Dark Parts front fender
- Killer customs lower fork covers
- Black clutch/brake lever Lever pins
- CVO tank badges (?)

Future...
- Maybe a solo rear fender (KC/Thunderbike)
- Possibly air suspension
- Tank conversion with Street Bob/Breakout dials in bars

Let me know your thoughts, advice, concerns, questions... or just say hi
Stoo

nice bike! Can you fit the 200 tire on the stock rear rim? What size exactly? Or did they modify your rim to make it wider?

I've put a Fat Boy/Sport Glide fuel tank on my 22.I love it.The bike looks much better with the fatter tank.However my HD 19 inch wind shiled is unusable.I bought a Road Warrior adter a guy on IG(who did the same tank conversion) said his road warrior doesnt touch the tank on full lock....turns out it does and his tank is dented.So i have a road warrior and short shield for sale.
Just to let you know.

That’s a shame. The road warrior is the Memphis shades offering isn’t it?

what sort of money were you after for it? I’m not sold on this killer customs fairing yet.

I won't include the clamps as I ground one down trying to see if I could shorten them to not touch on full lock which I did.But the locking latch mechanism can't really be altered so that's that.if you pay 50 euro on top of shipping(im in ireland) I'd be happy.

Sounds like a fair deal to me.
Could you include the ground down bracket as well? PM me some payment details.


As an aside, does anyone know if a breakout tank (2018-2021) will fit the FXFBS without clashing with the nose of the saddle? I’m relocating the gauge and want a flush tank.
