Probably the current fatboy & fatboy lo. The bike I should have bought, but whatever it probably was too big a bike to start off on.

Theres a memory jolt! I knew a half dozen guys with old 45s in the late 60s in the Detroit/Windsor area. Most of us had reverse or had retrofitted it. I think the reverse gear was only about 7 bucks at the John C Lodge factory outlet and every "45" 3 speed tranny was ready for it. I added it when I revamped the bike. I remember it was a fairly easy proceedure.
