New Fat Bob Owner
Good choice.
I myself converted from a sports bike to a 2014 fatbob 2 weeks ago.
I'm 5'7" and just today put some Kuryakyn floor boards on, pretty damned happy so far.
Next week I'll be doing a stage 1 intake and ecm download, and ohlins shocks. Looking forward to that

I also have a 14 Fat Bob in Vivid Black. I installed a set of V&H 3" slip-ons and they sound great. I picked up the bike in November and only rode it back from the dealer. It's been sitting in my shed ever since.
As far as the pegs, I always feel like my feet are going to slip off due to the angle of my legs so I bought a pair of Kuryakan ISO pegs a heal rest. I haven't installed them yet though. They should eliminate the feeling of my feet slipping off the pegs. I too don't like leaning the bike over to extend the jiffy stand, but oh well, I will get used to it.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I can say that coming from a sportster to this is a HUGE change and Way nicer.
Im supposed to pick a pair of floorboards up from a friend of mine sometime this week so thats really the main thing bothering me right now.
Today i wore my tennis shoes not my boots and my shoes seemed more stable on the stock pegs than the boots did. So that was nice too

I've got the floorboards on my Fatty & very happy with them. Only issue I have found is some scraping around corners. But I'm not sure I would have much more clearance with the forward controls either. Congrats!! & props for stashing all the cool stuff at the GFs so the wifey doesn't find out
