Got my new Fat Boy in today, went for a short ride in between the light rain and working.

I need saddlebags, windshield, and a back rest.

None of the vendors out there have 2018 stuff, dealers don't even have the OEM accessories. I'm trying to figure out what is compatible with last years FB, just not finding much.

I did find that to put on about any bags, I have to relocate the turn signals. Of course none show online anywhere except maybe if you call them.

So, it's a naked Fat Boy for now... still awesome, but hard on my back when I hit that throttle... which I can't keep from doing.

If anyone else gets more info on parts for this, I would appreciate adding it to this thread.

Thanks,

Tom

 

Congratulations!! What color??

I want to do the same... I will keep my list to the minimum... don't want to go crazy with mods like in my previous bikes...

I used the configuration app in the HD website and then added the stuff that was not there (Part Number):

Relocation Kit - License Plate/Turn Signal, Chrome (67800802) $99.95
Passenger Backrest Pad — Fat Boy Style (52300556) $74.95
Docking Hardware Kit - HoldFast, Chrome (52300376) $49.95
Sissy Bar - HoldFast, Short Height, Chrome (52300436) $199.95
Windshield - Wind Splitter Detachable Compact, 15" Light Smoke, Polished Brackets & Clamps (57400367) $419.95
Saddlebag - H-D Detachables Locking Saddlebags (90201513) $849.95 - these are the smooth looking, not like the ones on the photos I attached.

And added:

I will get a better looking set of passenger footpegs, and a better gear shift link. And that is it... moving a few compatible parts from my Slim S...

 

We are working on two new bags for the new frame. Detachable and lockable and will hopefully start at $599 and you won't have to relocate the signals. Hopefully we will have some pics in a few weeks.

Keep ridin'

Duh... The moco doesn't even have anything out yet. I think with the hype of all the new bikes people are forgetting there's nothing from the aftermarket community to put on them. It's gonna be a while and everyone will we riding stock bikes for atleast a few months... here is your first and only mod for a while, enjoy, lol

 

I think I will survive riding a stock bike for a while, no big shakes. Done that before and survived.

 

yuck, don't like the paint scheme on that tank at all

 

I am close to pulling trigger on new Fatboy but dealer doesnt have one yet.Does the new one still have the tight vibration at hiway speed that all the other softails have?

 

Here... found a photo of one with everything that I want on it... cool! Will have to change something...to be unique... just like everyone else.

 

I dig the denim blue anniversary color. I don't dig the new fatboy style and under no circumstances would I ever put bags on a fatboy, new or old. They just never have looked right to me on that bike. The Heritage look right w/bags as does a Deluxe with Springer styled bags. Fatboy... not so much.

 

I ordered my OEM windshield yesterday... was told it might ship on the 8th of Sept.

Got about 85 miles on it now. Not fond of the interstate, but not touring anymore anyway. Lots of fun around town. I'm learning how to handle the corners much better with that FAT rear tire.

Not sure about the stock seat. I might have to buy the hammock one, then I can get the backrest at the same time. Of course it isn't available and the season is about over, so might wait over the Winter and see what the reviews are on it from those who live where it is nice.
