you could drill 5/16" holes on the sides where you like and mount them with a tapered spacer/bung. or taper the light stalk for a direct mount. this would be a good option for riders looking to install larger bags too. the FXBB/FLSL units available soon won't need to be tapered. ride safe. -Eric

Oil light came on
I just bought my first harley ever. 09 FatBob and couldn't be more complete. The oil light just came on after I shut it down. Only ride it fourteen miles. What's that mean? I know nothing

From Metzeler:
Thanks for reaching out and we regret to inform you that we do not have a tested and approved fitment for your Fat Bob as we only recommend tested fitments listed I our catalog.
The sizes you have notes are correct technically in terms of load and speed but as a result of the radial construction we do not have any data to confirm that the ride characteristics of those tires will meet your requirements.

I have seen it on their FB and Instagram pages and have commented on it as i'd like to see them make it. Maybe by the time my warranty is up next year it will be available.
I also like their mini-grenades for the fat bob.
i'm running the reinhart slip-ons now and they are OK but the cat needs to go to get the volume i want.

im in the waiting game for something to come out that can support 120+ for my stage IV. Hopefully we start seeing some softail testing in the coming months. Plan on doing an exhaust, aftermarket cam and power vision. But would like to see some testing.

Just curious, are the replacement sections of pipe a bit smaller and inserted into the pipe then welded or are they the same size of pipe that are lined up end to end and welded to the pipes? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have been considering doing this as well and just wondering what the best way to go about it would be.
