Fatboy Owners Discussion

Theeis-

Not sure what pan you wanna cut ??? If U mean the frame cover pan, cut away...Just a fancy battery cover anyway..

I did a sprung tractor aka Police style seat on my former '90 Heritage.. That baby floated like air-ride !!! & looked good too..

The HD tractor seat is one of the most comfortable IMO I have ridden...
And I get to ride a lot of peoples bikes..

It runs fine no lost of power and pulls in 6th from 60mph

Did you swap out your factory ones? If so, what did you go with? Aftermarket? chrome exchange? H-D polished and chromed? H-D mirror chrome wheel?

My front right turn signal (running lights) will not light at all, and the rear one only lights when the turn signal is depressed (does not blink). The left one (both front and back) works fine, stays on for operating lights and blinks when the turn signal is depressed. Anyone have any sugjestions on where to begin?

Thanks....

The best place to start would be by posting this on the electrical forum. . .

Hello all, I'm not new to the forum but am new to the Fatboy Discussion. I just picked up my new/used 2008 FLSTF! It is awesome. I wanted to share a comment, however, from another HD owner I spoke with the other night. He claimed that Fatboy owners are usually people who have ridden Harleys for less than 5 years...and a true HD rider owns a Dyna Low Rider. I obviously disagreed. How crazy is that thinking? The Fatboy is a fantastic bike that rides and handles well...and I think it's pretty damn smooth!

[Boomshaw]

Ya, that is the kind of statement that other riders who wished they had bought a Fatboy, say to those that did, to make themselves feel better that they bought a "practical" bike instead of a Fatboy.

[gman62]

Well said! I find the Fatboy to be extremely practical. I am very pleased.

[Buddy Seat]

Yep agreed.. Fats where it's at !!!!!

My second softail.

1 was a Heritage, & my old faithful '94 Fat Boy...

eagle56, go and get your fuel reset. your running that motor to lean with your V&H. you are taking a chance on doing damage to your motor.... I have those pipes on my bike and you will notice the hp after you do this!!!

[hharleydad3]

Hello, I'm new to this site, I've been riding bikes all of my life. and I got my 2001 fatboy out of the create. This is the best bike I have ever owned, or even drove for that matter. once you go fat you'll never go back!!!

This project started out as a Fat Boy and is evolving to be a Blown Softail Bagger...

Whatever makes you 'fit & feel right' on yer bike, right ?

Change & personalizing HDs is a time honored tradition..

But what do I know ? I still ride obsolete HDs
