Default 107 vs 114

I'm thinking about a new Fatbob, and I'm wondering if the 114 is worth the extra $$. The out the door difference between 107 with ABS and a 114 is about $925 or so. That's not a huge difference given the total price, but cash is cash. I've ridden a 114 Fatbob and a 107 Slim, and I didn't notice a huge difference. Thoughts?

I went from the 107 to 114 on my RKS. I noticed a pretty big difference. Big enough to justify $925 in my opinion.

I think you will find that most dealers will order the 114 on the models that offer it.

I haven't ridden either one, but if I was buying, the 114 would be a no brainer.

I did some talking and pricing because I was wanting a Monotail slim with a 114, but to get that I would have to get the 114 crank shaft put into a 107, and for the dealership to do it we would be looking at an extra 8 to 10,000.00 on top of the price of the new monotail slim. Then after adding enough cosmetics to make me really love it, I decided to keep my Rusty Trusty old Road King., cause it still makes me happy just to see it in my garage.

I noticed the Low Rider doesn't offer the 114".

Nice of you to say so...thank you. Yes, I absolutely LOVE the bike. Hydraulic clutch has taken some getting used to, but overall very happy with it. And you are exactly right...always need a steed at the ready.
