Default Slim for a Fatboy

Just traded my Slim for a 2018 Fatboy with 1800 miles on it. Have wanted a new style Fatboy and now I have one ! Now if it ever stops raining and warms up I'll be a happy man !

Nicely done! Slim is a great bike, but I LOVE my ‘18 FLFBS.

Have fun. The Fatboys just look like they are in different league compared to the slim IMO. Good Choice!

Those Fat Boys are really sick looking bikes. I love those solid wheels. If I wanted a little more of a cruiser I would have bought one over my Fat Bob.

Thankyou. Which bars did you get? I'm looking at these two. https://www.directcycleparts.com/han...rs-p-8579.html. That one might be a little wide.
And this from Harley: https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/e...ome/p/55800712 I'm leaning towards this one.

Did you get one of these? When you put yours on did you need any cable extensions? THANKS
