I fixed my problem with it’s handling by trading it in for a Low Rider... I found it very uncomfortable to throw around twisties, and realized no matter what I did, it would never with those wheels. There was a point I considered swapping a breakout wheel up front, which may have helped, but the cost was just about what I lost on the trade, so I went that route. The Low Rider handles so good, I am very happy. I also did a Stage 3, which is also fantastic.

I know that’s not what you asked, but I don’t think there’s any good answer. If you haven’t bought it yet, try the Low Rider...

a different shaped bar would help give you most control. Not a pull back drag bar. I found the stock bars to male the bike un turnable. However the bike handles great. But if you have a long reach like me the bars could be your problem.

best answer.

The Fat Boy will never be the best handling bike because of its design, and the oversized tires. For me it handles fine, and powers out of the curves beautifully. It’s a rock solid bike built for effortless cruising. I’m assuming you want the 114 engine, if that’s the case, test ride a Fat Bob 114.
