Thanks for all the kind words and advice....This past June I was on my VTX and got hit by a car that said they didn't see me...broke my wrist but now I'm anxious to get back on two wheels, and figured I should be a little safer on a Harley (if they can't see me, they will certainly hear me) Do you think I should have ithe Fatty painted fluorescent orange?
I hope you all ride safe!

a friend of mine has a fat boy with efi and he says he'd rather have a carb, cause if the efi ever breaks down you probably won't get it going without bringing it in and spending some $$$
