  • What makes THIS BIKE SO COOL

    The crosswind thing is a myth. The cutouts are purely for aesthetics. No air is getting through a spinning wheel at pretty much any speed. Besides, the cross section of the entire bike and the rider is multiple times larger than just the two wheels. On another note, any idea what the part number is for the Memphis Shades windshield? I have a 2022 myself and am considering one. The H-D windshield runs $400+, wondering what the cost is for the Memphis Shades version.

    Lovely bike. Just bought the exact same bike a couple of days ago. Getting a new exhaust system fitted with Vance and Hines swept down pipes and a passenger backrest and then pick it up in about a week, Can't wait!

    Had my 22' for 7 months now, 2300 miles later. It is an exceptional bike and, without a doubt, the finest HD I've owned. Have the same windshield - Memphis Shades - and for my 6'1" 34" inseam frame, it's perfect. Clear, no buffeting at all, easy installation. Combined with a black "engine guard", VH Eliminators, medium saddlebag, Performance Machine grips, and soft lowers (cold weather), it is perfect.....almost. Cruise control is next on the list.

    New subscriber here, great video, the video quality was excellent, it really showed just how beautiful this bike is. I'm in the process of buying one right now, the same color, the dealer is a tough nut and he's trying to high ball me so I'm in a not so fun bargaining process. I'm also going to get different pipes, Van and Hines, just a different look. I love the sound of the bike, congratulations!! Ride safe brothers.

    I have the exact bike and color and I just love it, people at work come and tell me the bike is just frickin beautiful! I found some really cool mirrors by HD that I'll be changing out, also I'll be putting in the cruise control, heated grips, and I found some really nice leather bags from a outside vendor, Harley bags are over twice the price, not leather and very poorly rated. I'll also be changing out the seat for something much more comfortable along with a sissy bar with a very small short backrest. I'm also swapping out the floorboard and brake pedal along with the shifter lever and lastly I'm putting on the Vance and Hines slip-ons like you have, the approximate upgrade cost will only be around 2 to 4 thousand bucks. Nice video and music, thank you!

    AS yourself I ride a 2019 Fat Boy love the bike and I also have the same windshield. Problem i have found is that with the turn signals located behind the windshield on the handle bars they reflect off of the windshield Not bad on lighted streets however on unlit country rads it interferes with the visibility .You will notice bright amber ring around the windshield and the whole windshield will take on a light amber tint. This increases ten fold if you switch to LED especially the ones that are white and amber when turning . Solution would the availability of a light bar but i have had absolutely no input from Harley as to what if any light bar would work. In the end I went to Custom dynamics they make a white and amber turn signal the fits on the engine guard. Not the best solution but it works. I'm waiting to see if the add a light bar accessory on the 2023, if so will be trading in . Beautiful bike enjoy the ride

      I just bought a real head Turner 2001 model 11000 miles .looks like it just came out the factory last week .The guy who owned it from new ( one owner ) was a local millionaire ) it has had so much chrome added, plus new whitewalls god knows what it cost .They delivered it to me in pretty deep snow .So although I have had it 3 weeks its not coming out the garage till April .Also it has had a complete new non Harley paint spray job .1st time I rode a Fat Boy was at least 25 years ago on a group demo tour .Looking foreward to April.
      I also have the original bill of sale from new .£12500 .
      Jeez now here they are £22000.

    The exhaust makes all the difference.
    I guess with the 2022 rims you can finally chain up a fatboy.
    Plesent riding.
