I have the Mini Spartan. That 6up would probably do just fine.

Looks like that could be good for me too. Might stop the need to switch out the Spartan for the HD windshield for really long trips.

How does it attach? Looks like drill holes and bolt it on in the pics above....

My bike is on the left. I have the Dougz bullit fairing and the 5" windshield. Also works great.

Has anyone ever had trouble finding 3rd, 2nd, and 1st gear when downshifting? When I downshift from 6th to 5th to 4th, I feel it click into gear each time, no problem.

When I try to downshift to 3rd, 2nd, and 1st, it refuses to click into gear but if I keep trying over and over it will eventually downshift without feeling it click.

I just bought this bike an hour ago (it has 45 miles on the odometer) but this isn't my first 2020 Fat Bob. I put over 6,000 miles on my first one with no issues whatsoever.

Does this sound like I need a shifter pawl adjustment?

are you letting the clutch out to engage the gear as you downshift in each gear? I had some issues if I tried to downshift multiple gears at once. I barely let the clutch out now in every gear on the way down and have never had a problem since then.
