Well done mate. Good to see an Aussie review, and someone who knows how to properly steer (most of the yanks twist the steering instead of actually leaning). Cheers again mate. You have convinced me to get one.
Yes you can get the cruise separtely ! So is the factory Toyota high pitch horn can be easily replaced with a Denali flute horn 113db, perfect fit too!. It is not Liquid cooled, the oil is cooled by placing an oil cooler it in the front!
Your welcome! I got the same Color in Canada in Nov 2017. I do not regret it but there are flaws! You guys overseas may have gotten the siren with the immobilizer, Here we did not! so I bought one from a 3rd party! Changed the handgrips for "Brass Balls" machined handgrips, Sweet! Those pipes are very nice but check out "Jeckell & Hyde"exhaust! Totally legal and listen to them sound! Cheers
Denis Pare My 2017 FatBoy S has a horn that will make an 18 wheeler jealous! I accidentally hit it the other day while testing out my blinkers and I dang near jumped out of my pants! LOL. It’s nothing like a Toyota horn. I don’t know about the 2018 horn. Will have to hear it.
Cruise control can be added to any Harley 2016 and later. By the unit around 250.00 American. Install the unit and go down to your local Harley and have the ECM set and your in business. I added cruise to my 2016 breakout!
Nice work showing the mastiff in the wind to make your point. I have 3 of those dogs and they all love sticking their head out the canopy window just like the dog you showed. Anyway, you make good videos, I'm diggin your channel. cheers mate.
Very nice video. Appreciate you opinion on the Fat Boy. As to your comment on wind in your face, a fellow Aussie over on the west side says "If you feel you need a windscreen & a radio ... buy a dang car!" I love it.
Just put a $500 deposit to have mine shipped into my local Harley, got the 2020 with stage 1 and Vance and Hines 2-2 "Big Radius" exhaust, pick it up when I get off the road on Oct. 18th! Your review is my favorite!!!
Also if you throw some money at it within the first 60 days and Harley does it , its under warranty. Thinking about doing it. Been 25 years. Love this bike.
Was going to be my first brand spanking new bike, instead I went for the 2016 breakout . I love my bike but when I go to the dealership I go to the fat boy to check it out
Cheers for the video bud, great work. Going back to your dyna, you mentioned the tank lift & range, with the lift is range reduced? Thinking of chucking one on my 2000 super glide, cheers
Stuart Ridge-Cooke it only changed it by about 15kms mate so I think it is worth doing for sure!!! Don’t go any more than 2 1/2” otherwise you can see the frame and wires etc. cheers mate
@@SkidPiglooks to be more comfortable. I live down in Bendigo VIC. 1.5 hr from Melbs so I would be doing a mix of highway and town riding. How to you think it goes doing the slow stuff in town. Looks and sounds fantastic
Better ride because of less rake and a bit higher of the ground. I've got the hang now on my Breakout but it took me a little to work it out. The Fatty was on my Radar but I've got the Breakout used from the dealership with only 6000 ks on the clock and about 9 grand cheaper then new, don't know why they falling so rapidly in price but this time in my favour. Love the Fatboy though. Love HD anyway.
Hahaha man your vlogs crack me up hey !! So Aussie 🤙🤙great plug for the shop too, cheers bro. We should hook up a ride once Lukes bike is back together and get Cam out on his Roadglide 🤘
Any baffles in those pipes? Ordered a set today for my 2018 M8 -FLFBS, based on this video, sound varies on line from what is heard here which is perfect to extremely loud. Great clip!
Would that be considered the optional "quiet baffle"? Don't think baffles come standard. I would imagine without them one would be setting car alarms off. I should maybe tell my Parts Mgr to order those in before the order goes in on Monday, seems plenty loud enough. Not sure if the baffles are mandatory in the land down under, they are in CA, I'm on the east coast where they're not.. Thanks again mate - Regards!
I contacted Freedom Headquarters in CA. Looks like company has been around since 1979. A Rep actually texted me back today, Easter Sunday and confirmed from your video that those pipes have the standard performance baffle. Good thing because my dealer will send out the order tomorrow. There is a quiet baffle as an option, but NA here. Freedom says the Radical Radius was voted # 1 pipe and sound in Australia!! Distributor there is Rollies Speed Shop in Brisbane. Been looking for the right pipes for my 2018 FLFBS for a while, something that looks cool, sounds great and not something everyone has. I found them from your video so thanks again! Performance wants pics of my bike when done, I've added a lot of upgrades all HD except the pipes. Bike is black metallic, stage 1 w/ SE heavy breather w/ chrome cap and will look great with those pipes in chrome w/the black tips. I had a Dyna previously all done up, beautiful bike too. If you weren't on the other side of the world would have been nice to ride to a pub for a beer. Best!
Thanks for the reply mate. Appreciate that, as I am stuck between the fat Boy S and the new Fat Boy 114. Great to have a straight talking ozzie reviewer with a sense of humor. ride safe, Cheers
Skidpig you make riding Harley look so fucken easy :) ive seen some real poonses motor vloging them and just are so unsuited for these beasts and it shows but you do sell these like hot cakes with your footage!!! So ive seen this and the Lowrider vid which bike did you prefer because they both look and sound the shit, only turn off for me with the Fatboy id have to say is those floor boards dont know whether they would scrap on the road
Liquid cooled ?? Lol. Oil cooled. Not liquid cooled, unless your calling the oil liquid. In which case HD has been that since 1903 lol Dig the Fatboys. HD have produced a brilliant series of frames and engines.
Well done mate.
Good to see an Aussie review, and someone who knows how to properly steer (most of the yanks twist the steering instead of actually leaning).

They changed the horn location and style for 2018 and it sucks!
Nice to see Townsville being sunny and dry instead of being under water. Great review mate.
Haha yeah mate for sure, thanks for watching
I've watched god knows how many Fatboy test rides and they are as exciting as watching a car rust, yours was fkn great loved it mate ! subbed too
Cheers mate
Cruise control can be added to any Harley 2016 and later. By the unit around 250.00 American. Install the unit and go down to your local Harley and have the ECM set and your in business. I added cruise to my 2016 breakout!
Do they have to be fly by wire? My wide glide is a 2016 but still cable
@@SkidPig I do believe they have to be TBW systems.
frogaliscious has a video where he added electric cruise to a 2012 DYNA switchback FLD. I don't see why that wouldn't work for your bike.
@@chrisclark8545 really?? I'll go try find it
You don't have a link do you? I can't find it??
Nice work showing the mastiff in the wind to make your point. I have 3 of those dogs and they all love sticking their head out the canopy window just like the dog you showed. Anyway, you make good videos, I'm diggin your channel. cheers mate.
Thanks mate
Awesome video , the bike looks like a cross between classic with muscle, the exhaust looks sweet
evilmuscle yeah exactly right man!!! They did well with this bike
Very nice video. Appreciate you opinion on the Fat Boy. As to your comment on wind in your face, a fellow Aussie over on the west side says "If you feel you need a windscreen & a radio ... buy a dang car!" I love it.
Oregon Outback ha ha yeah brother!!!!
Love that satin chrome. 😎

evilmuscle nice!! I think the 16 breakout is way better than the new one. Do you love it??
Good review but i wish you had gone around a couple of roundabouts and talked more about the handling
Thanks for sharing mate, fucking awesome bike, ye love the black 💪👍☘☘
Cheers mate

SkidPig thanks heaps for that
Stuart Ridge-Cooke no worries mate
Finally I Aussie comparison.
Really want a fat boy. Seems that it like turns and round about fine to me.
I'm still turn between this and a breakout.
I rode the breakout too but didn't press record haha, I like the fat boy more
@@SkidPiglooks to be more comfortable. I live down in Bendigo VIC. 1.5 hr from Melbs so I would be doing a mix of highway and town riding. How to you think it goes doing the slow stuff in town. Looks and sounds fantastic
I have a 2018 and I chromed mine out. Screw that satin chrome look. That's my only complaint
That would look sweet!!!
Are the forward controls extended a bit? Im looking into solutions as Im 6.4
I'm 6.2 and was fine
How did you feel on the cornerings mate? Could I do this on the twisties along the valleys? Thanks!
It was great mate
@@SkidPig yeah I test rode it yesterday. Hell it was soo easy. It’s not as bad as what people say . Cornerings are easyy. Just abit of getting use to
I'll be taking a rental street glide out for a cruise in cairns next month. Just curious how the fatboy goes with two up riding?
MultiFin I only rode it by myself mate but with that suspension adjustment you will be SWEET!!!! just wind her up a bit 🍻
How was the wind with the rims?
Ethan Dale didn’t even notice it mate
SkidPig 2018 fat boy or wide glide not sure which one I wont to buy.ur channel is great too 👍👍
Great review bro
Thanks mate
Nice Ride, just ordered one in Salt Pearl. What camera did you use, picture and sound is just perfect. Cheers.
peter nielsen thanks mate, I use a GoPro hero 6 with an external mic
Thanks 👍👌

🤙
Kickass ride bud.
Ryan's V-Twin Vlogs Cheers mate, thanks for watching
What’s you thoughts on power compared to the v-rod muscle? Cheers
Pee Cock the vrod would kick its ass!!!!!
Cheers for the reply mate! Was set on a 2017 muscle but found a 18 fat boy for cheap.. muscle it is!
Pee Cock I did a test ride on a night rod if your interested??
Pee Cock ua-cam.com/video/qGBBavW1EM8/v-deo.html
Best Fukn review ever hahaha 👍
ashley martin thanks mate
Great video mate, I'm with you on the wind in your face. How do you think it would stack up against a fat boy S with the SE 110 for power. ? Cheers
RSB Harley thanks mate. To be honest I think the fat boy S would eat it!!!! Or maybe because they are so smooth they don’t feel as fast??
Thanks for the reply mate. Appreciate that, as I am stuck between the fat Boy S and the new Fat Boy 114. Great to have a straight talking ozzie reviewer with a sense of humor. ride safe, Cheers
Like your videos! Harley does have cruise control. 2016 or later softtails the part number is 41000369. $249.95 over here
Audley Rice nice!! I think that would only be for the fly by wire ones not cable like my Dyna
