I have the same Harbor Freight balancer and use it for dirt bike/adv bike tires. Works great and is inexpensive enough and takes up little space.

Good to hear. I was about to ask how well it works. Might as well get one if I'm gonna continue changing my own tires.

I bought one today, love it! Saying goodbye to my 16 LRS was bitter sweet.

Default Handguards!

Just put on the Memphis Shades handguards. Kicking myself for not doing this sooner in the colder weather. Easy install, plenty of room for hands and operation of throttle/brake/clutch.

Yesterday I had a chance to testdrive new 2020 Fat Bob 114.
306 kg curb weight , 1860 cc, 94 hp and 155 Nm of torque.
I expected that it will be scary even to approach a bike with such numbers.
Instead, bike was easy, balanced and sleek, and not giving vibes and feel of monster under the saddle.
But overall bike is good, with surprisingly comfortable body position with dragbar and feet-forward controls.

I haven't taken it for a ride yet due to freezing temps and wet/icy roads but DAMN it looks bad ***! Can't wait to try it out!



This looks AMAAAAAZING. I wonder if this would fit my 20' Low Rider S.
