Goodby FXDXT...
Well; I can't believe it but I've sold my FXDXT project of many years and many miles and will now ride an FXDF...with a little customizing...the T has been a great bike, but I needed to move onto something more current for my travels and couldn't stand to see it sit in the garage waiting for a ride...I interviewed two prospective owners and she's going to a real good home...another machine to miss; maybe more than any other over the years.
Please don't ask why I didn't "upgrade" to an FLH; I'm still months away from 60...
Think I'll go have a drink now.

I've been thinking of trading my modified 2010 street bob for a FXDXT. I've never ridden one and only seen a few in person. What were your main reasons for trading to a newer bike? Everything I've done has been to make my bike more sporting and the T seems like a bike a could throw an exhaust on and powdercoat some parts and be done.

... can't believe it ... as much TLC and great mods as you've put into that bike ...
... oh well, on to 'bigger and better' things ... there are some great options out there to be able to turn the FXDF Fat Bob into a modern, upgraded version of your FXDXT ...
Best wishes with the new ride ...

Someone got a great bike, I may get a new bike someday but not until I can afford to have two I'm sure it was not easy for you You area good source of information and inspiration for us T-Sport owners. I just picked up a six speed and with the bullet proof 103” motor she will keep up with the new bikes, all she needs is ignition and a new CV44 carb and she will pretty much be done! Good luck with your new ride and Ride Safe!!!

Thanks for all the "condolences". My wife and I have done 26 states and 6 provinces on our bikes in the last few years with some real good friends...the T was just a bit too much of a thoroughbred for plow horse use; some of the dealers we stopped at didn't even know what it was...and if you need anything on the road, the easier it is to get the part the quicker you're back riding with your friends. Soon all HD techs will think "carbs" have something to do with pasta. I'm enjoying the Fat Bob and plan a few changes...glad to have owned such a relatively exotic HD; I am certain bikes like the FXDX/T's will never again come out of HD's doors...enjoy the day...
