Here is my 2019 Fat Bob 114/128 with a few Mods, starting with a Fuel Moto 128 Big Bore Kit with D & D Exhaust with S & S cam door and oil pump joker blinkers, Black mill Tag relocator. high risers and new handlebars with a doug customs fairing[/QUOTE]

Very impressive Dyno numbers. Did you do anything to bottom end? Did FM recommend crank work at some point?

Added the Dougz Bullit Fairing and Five-Up windshield yesterday. It’s still in raw resin form and won’t be painted until this Winter.

Great looking bikes. Appreciate all of the information.

Just demo’d the Fat Bob and pretty much sold on it.

Waiting to see the 2020 color options

My warranty is done in October, so Jamie at Fuel Moto will be getting an order....

Can I ask what you did with the cam, the heads, the throttle body and injectors to get those numbers? And anything else that is pertinent....

Nice, did you try it out with and without the windshield portion? I'm curious how much difference the additional screen makes or if the fairing alone would be enough for my purposes. I'm 6'2" and would like to lesson the beating on my head from the wind when ripping.

Not my bike, but I did try without the +5" and I ended up adding it. I am 5'10" and the +5" was the trick.

Got my wheels on finally and I was not expecting the carbon fiber to change the handle too much but wow it made a very noticeable diff. The gyroscopic effect at highway speed is pretty much gone. the bike just tips in and out like a dirt bike at 90mph. Also at slow speed I don’t feel the heavy front wheel like the stock wheel and tire setup.

Agreed—I’m 5-11” and was getting smacked in the face with deflected air—with it installed no issues.
