I kept the shifter chrome and changed the pot metal linkage to a chrome one.

Hi I am new to the forum and picked up my Fat Boy s on Saturday... have less than 200 miles on it.. I posted this quest a few minutes ago but wondered if you had any thoughts.. Bike seems left side heavy right off the factory floor. Hands free at moderate speed on a straight and level road if I take my hands off the bars if wants to lean and track left right away?
Is this the way yours feels?
Dave
Dave, congratulations on your new bike.

That does not sound right. Take it back to the dealer and have them check wheel alignment... let us know what they find.

Thanks. I called the dealer. They want me to bring it back later this week. I will let the forum know what they say. Dave

I've been able to post one photograph on my new guy thread, but could not add anymore to it. I think I've added photographs to my album, but I'm not sure who has access to this either. Lost. Guidance gladly accepted.
Welcome. You can post pics after a minimum number of posts (maybe 5 or 10.)

I really like the LRS. They did a good job with it.
I'm confused though. How do you get to work if you don't take one of the bikes?

My rear tire was getting thin, so I put news tires at both ends today. I used my dealer points to pick up a new King Size Windshield. The jury is still out in the windshield. It looks good, but I get some buffeting.

Oh. I also borrowed a '16 Heritage while my bike was getting new shoes. Didn't care for it at all. Cramped and weirdly small feeling.

For people who think the HO103 has power like the 110... Wrong. It felt sluggish in the meaty torque range.

Looks like you selected the tall version. The buffeting is why I added
the HD "fangs" (see below). I really don't care for the look, but they seem
to be extremly effective, either with or without the QD windshield installed.

with alot of different views and types of HD/aftermarket deflectors.

How many miles on the old tire?
