Calling all FatBoy Lo Owners
So, quick question: what do you guys think about the King/Queen seat? I am seriously thinking about picking one up for 2-up riding.
I bought the Bare Bones for solo riding and my wife HATES the stock passenger pillion AND I have the FXSTC one piece sissy bar this seat was made for (just like the original, DaveFLSTFB) so this seat would work perfectly. Then I would probably end up selling the stock seat. What do you think? I personally think it would give it a nice, retro look, which is kinda what I am going for anyways.

About the PCV mount, you'll find the instructions in the box but in case you want them in color, here ya go PCV Softail Install I guess my memory is a bit fuzzy. They show just moving the stock ECM up on the fender to make room for the piggyback plug.

Looking to upgrade to the gloss black lower fork legs. For those of you that have, did you replace the flat black portion (cow bells maybe?) that comes stock? If so, did you have to buy the whole gloss black upper kit or can you just purchase the parts that need to be replaced?

And I've always like the King/Queen seat..but only with a passenger..without someone filling the Queen seat, it just looks kinda depressing.. (unless you're planning on bringing someone home from where ever you're doing
).. I got one of the 14" touring passenger pillions from another user (we swapped passenger seats a few months ago).. I only mounted it once to see how it looked, and boy is it ugly. But i sat on it (while the bike was on the kickstand of course) and it sure is comfy.. but mannn is it ugly. ..idk, maybe someone can photoshop the K/Q seat on to an image for you to see how it looks

Had the whole thing powdercoated.. cowbells and all. If you're replacing the lowers, you have to disassemble the forks anyways, and if you're in the slightest bit mechanically inclined, you can do it yourself.. also saved about $600 doing it that way.. Just food for thought if you're able to do it..

Im with you Misbehaven. We have the same setup but I figured that Im not looking back when I ride.
Ive noticed on my bike when I bought it that it has a string of weights on the front and back on both sides! Anyone else have this. The ride seems rough like Im bouncing hard up and down. No wobble tho

I've got a few pics that I think would work great, so just let me know.
