Hey dude... I swapped the stock mirrors out with HD Buckshot mirrors as soon as I picked the bike up at the dealer. I realy liked the subtle industrial look of the Buckshots and thought they realy fit the look of the bike. ...no more staring at my shoulders.

Here is a link to the HD site...

Maybe if I were younger and just rode more but I live in LA and just bought a new Cadi SRX for cruising long distance's and it has something called air cond and leather seats, LOL. I'll save my bikes for fiddling on and weekend warrior-ing.
Haha totally hear you there regarding the Cadi... nice ride btw!

Totally loving the FB, but previous bike was a 2017 BO which was also an awesome bike, so I can totally understand why your friend can't stop talking about it, esp with the 114 =)

Can't wait to see what people start doing to these 114 bikes performance wise...

why would anyone feel bad for someone else riding what they do. it's just a motorcycle. not all people get to ride any of them. So just enjoy what you have

That's very true brother. I was just joking around, there's so many awsome bikes out, its a good time for riders for taste and styles. I just needed a good name for the thread. Lol.

On a side note, I'm thinking of trading the bob for a heritage. I figured by the time I'm done with a sissy bar, back pad, windshield, bags, and mirror extensions I'd by $2,500 in to the bob. Apperantly I was really wanting a semi touring bike! The fat Bob was and is just so freaking fun to ride! Not having bags and windshield really bother me though and I'm not liking the bob exhaust.

I love my Heritage and it's perfect for me, but you should really test ride one before you make that trade... you might miss what grabbed you about the bob.
All the things you want can be addressed really. $2,500 for the RIGHT bike for you is not crazy $$$ down the road. The Heritage is heavier, less lean angle, and geared taller which effects low end a bit. It's great, but not the same road weapon the bob is...

Otherwise, hell yeah the Heritage is awesome!

That was quick! Hah! Test 'em all. You can always drop a tooth on the Heritage. Maybe you won't mind the difference. For comparison I'm st 2750 RPM at 80 MPH. Nice for distance, and plenty of pep around town. Even geared tall that 114 is s beast....I am curious about the StageII torque cam though...

The new Fatbob looks like it's trying to be a Japanese sport bike to me. & with that vtwin engine, M8 or not, a severely under-powered sport bike.


And you paid $25k???
