Default Just got a Fatboy S

I just traded my Heritage for a Fatboy S in Vivid Black. It is awesome. Throttle by wire and hydraulic clutch smooth as can be and the motor has some power that's for sure. Had to baby it home trying to break it in. My neck is killing me from riding on the Expressway with no windshield but I have ordered one, along with bags, engine guard and a sissy bar, grips and the tacho/speedo.

I'm loving all the blacked out look. I was thinking about a new Heritage but fell in love with the FLSTFBS (a bit of a mouthful) at the front door of the dealership.

Can't wait for my friends to tell me I'm riding too fast!! My teeth full of bugs from the smile on my face.

Test rode one on the weekend. Nice bike. Congratulations. Now if I just had a new Slim S we could go riding, and turn a lot of heads.

Cool bike! I'm envious. I'm renting a '15 Fat Boy this Friday while my TriGlide is being worked on. I've already measured, and the FB will fit in my garage...ya never know.

It is listed in the bottom left not with the regular bikes.

Sturgis 75th Edition

Cheaper than a CVO but more than a regular model

Look around more, its not listed with the regular softail line up. listed under "S series" in the lower left when you pull up the bikes on the HD website. I'm assuming the "s" denotation is for Special or screamin' Eagle given they do have a 110ci
