A lot of things fell in to the right places at the right time and I picked up the 2019 in Industrial Grey Denim with all the trimmings. Alas, I am still saddened :'(

Mine would start up immediately after dying and ride fine until the next stop, which where I was riding, would be at least a couple of miles. I live in the Southern California Desert and ride sometimes in temperatures exceeding 110; my garage gets up to over 120 on many summer days. Batteries don't like that heat and don't last as long because of it. When I had the "stalling" problem, I took the battery out and had it tested at two different auto parts stores (I didn't trust the results from the first). Testing equipment at both shops reported that the battery passed and was still good. As the problem continued I decided just to try changing the battery as the one I was using was a couple of years old and like I said and knew from experience, they just don't like extreme heat. Changing the battery solved the problem for me. I also now put her on a Battery Tender almost all the time when not in use, from what I've read, doing so keeps the battery in better condition and can be particularly beneficial in high temperature conditions.

Nine months and countless hours of overtime later



Looking at different engine guards and a seat, but the Fatboy is finished for now.
