Default 2016 Fatboy S

Toying around with trading my 07 Fatboy in for a 2016 Fatboy S with much lower miles. I haven’t test ridden it yet, that’s coming Tuesday, but have ridden what I believe was an 09 S model and honestly couldn’t see or feel any difference. Anyone have the 16’ S model and what do you think?

I had a 2016 Fat Boy S. The 110 twin cam ran very hot even with a tune. I had to get a Capt Itch crotch cooler just to ride it.

I did a stage 1 and got 91 hp and 107 tq. However, on the road the power dropped off considerably around 80.

No problems before being traded with 14000 miles.

Eee gads hot…I live in the high desert and it’s already hot enough….maybe that’s why the bike has been in lot for quite awhile? Still I can’t help being pulled by the 110 screaming eagle…I am sure that whatever decision I make will probably be the wrong one.

thanks much for the insight, I appreciate it.
