If you want to have a SE slip on for the cost of nothing, then you just knock the plug out of the stock slip-on. This is not the cat in the head pipe.
There are some threads on here about it, here's one. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...-question.html
and another link. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...t-cannons.html
I was thinking about doing it myself, come to find out, the previous owner had already done it for me. No wonder my "stock" bike sounds so good. Its not as loud or throaty as a $500 pair of slip-ons from any of the third party vendors, but its identical to the SE slip-ons to the best of my knowledge.

Default Replacement Seat

Thinking about upgrading the stock seat on my 2019 Fatbob 114. I'm a tall guy, around 6' 1". Would like to sit slightly lower and back but still be able to reach the bars comfortably. Two-up or solo w/ room for passenger. Been considering the following:

1. Drag Specialties Black Predator III
2. Saddlemen Speed Merchant
3. Mustang Tripper Fastback
4. Corbin Wall

Any recommendations or suggestions? Something cool not on my list here?

Whiplash Speed Co's slipstream, gambler, or drifter.
I remember reading that this seat puts rider 1 inch lower, but I cant find thread. Maybe someone will chime in on this. I am looking to get a slipstream soon, after 11000 miles in the last year my stock seat isn't cutting it.

I didnt see FXFB or FXFBS on DS Black Predator 3 list.

I used the Saddleman renegade LS, lower and a bit further back. No more comfy than stock.

Check out C&C Seats, their seat seems longer than most at 14.5 inches. The Sport Tour will be my next mod.

I just ordered the whiplash slipstream have not received it yet so no opinion. Just wanted to say it seems the whiplash and c&c are the same seats.

Anyone know where I can find the paint code for the bronze heat shield on the fat bob?

Anyone know why my clock resets after I start the bike sometimes. Seems to have started since I put in LED turn signals may just be a coincidence.
