That's a Fatboy 114, not a Fatboy S.

While they don't actually call it an "S" model like they did last year, the model designation for the Fatboy 114 is FLFBS.
The 107 M8 model is still FLFB.

Well I didn't get far but I will give you my impression of the SE Street Cannons the little I listened to them. Fired the bike up (stock tune) sounded great except at idle it's not much louder then stock. That's when my bad luck began, hit the throttle and nothing, nadda. No twist throttle. So I shut it down and it took me about 20 minutes to find my problem, the 18" TBW extension kit form Harley, part number 69201804 was not correct. You'd think a straight thru extension harness would have the same wire configuration at both ends, NOT. I began correcting the configuration at one end to match the other and then I said screw it, and just ordered a extension from Namz which I've never had a problem with. So that should be here tomorrow and I will continue to do my test then. I will tell you this, at idle, I was pretty damn disappointed, not much different then stock, not much louder at all, but I'll hold my final opinion until I can twist the throttle and hear them. Better yet when FM can provide me with a tune for my Power Vision which definitely will make a noticeable difference..I should have and update tomorrow and I'll also figure out how to post a audio file..Fit and finish were great however...


Chrome Street Cannons w/stock heat shields..

They look pretty good at least. It'd be nice to get a little idle mojo back, but I'd be really happy if they sound good going down the road. Looking forward to your further progress.

For something off topic but very much worth sharing. The results from my PET scan came back today (fighting stage four kidney cancer 4 years now) got real real good news. These results were unexpected due to the amount of pain I've been experiencing the last few months but scans don't lie, cancer has diminished and the number are better then they've ever been. Thank you God and thanks to family and friends who have been Praying for me. Prayer works!
Now back to work :-)
