Oops. The Rush Slip-ons with 2.25" baffles are loud. I'll see how I tolerate it for a week or so, but may need to order one of the smaller size baffles.

Well after test driving the Black slim S a bunch of times two weeks ago, and falling in love with it, my local dealer got the green one on the floor. I went in tonight to see it after work. It looks amazing! The green gives the bike some nice contrast on the blacked out bike, that you don't get with the all black. I love this bike.

I think you'll find the 2" baffles are just right. I love the sound of mine with the 2".

I had 2" Rush on my last 2 Heritages and they sounded just right.

I'm thinking V & H Big Shots for the Fatboy S, in black of course. But no decision made yet.

I am picking my vivid black Fat Boy S tomorrow AM, pretty excited and Im sure it will be a long night kinda like as a kid the night before Christmas. I am leaving mine stock since winter is quickly approaching here in northern PA but I am putting the analog speedo/tach combo in it, the other mods will be planned out while there is white stuff on the ground.

Very nice. Trust me, other than exhaust and any windshield/bag type accessories you might want, the bike needs very little.


....Grips. It does come with the standard HD plastic grips. I never have liked them and have a set of Get-a-Grip Magnums the dealer threw in with the purchase. They will install them at my 1000 mile service on October 2nd (where I'll have about 1300 miles based on how I've been riding.)
