Hi all, finally got myself a new 114 FatBoy ordered after many years of dreaming and saving my money.
Still waiting for a delivery date from my dealer but should be here by the end of this month.
Going to have a stage one and a side mount plate fitted from the dealer.

Been keeping an eye on the whole oil migration problem on the M8 for a while now,could someone tell me if this affects every M8 powered HD or certain ones. Feel like MoCo are struggling to resolve this issue as it's been an issue since day one!

A guy who I deliver to has a 2017 SGS and was called in the other week for a clutch mod due to oil migration,he said the dealer seemed very vague on what they did when carrying out this work.
