Default Gonna be the coldest ride ever

***** Update on post #22 *******


For me cause it's 43 degrees out

But it's all good. Dealer just called and my Fatboy is ready. They just finished the Stage IV Motor upgrade and I'm trying to figure out a way to get up there and pick her up today.



Had them do this with a SE Heavy breather.

Keep it under 80 and you'll be fine! I rode 5 miles the other night in 35 degrees just so I could test the apes out, liked to have froze but it was worth it. No greater feeling than getting your ride the way you want it and being able to enjoy it. Congrats on the stage IV!

Its currently 56 here and only 1130 maybe it'll warm up a little more but it really doesn't matter, I'll be puttin on some miles anyway since the wind isn't blowing 50 mph like usual.
