I still have essentially 2 months to go till I've had the bike with me for a full year.
Keep it up!

Given the choice between two idenical bikes, one with 4K miles and one with 12K, which would you have opted for Fran? I ask because it sometimes seems that people like me that don't ride as much as we once did are sort of looked at like we're crazy, but when we get ready to sell we're sought after Or at least our bikes are. I've had mine for four years now and only have about 5200 miles on it. I'm retired, ride as much as I want to, and only when the weather is good. Whereas once upon a time the only transpo I had was a bike. Rode a lot then, rain or shine. And when I had a bike and a car I commuted on the bike as often as I could. Now it's only a pleasure vehicle for me. And has to compete with other pastimes. But hey, it's great that you're enjoying Rayearth so much!

@iHodor
thank you. Were you the gentleman who sold his 2018 Fatboy with only 2000 miles in 2020?

She looks a little different then she did.

4K because then I'd have more time with the bike. I mean I got my bike at just under 4K miles.
I dont get to ride as much as I want too due to money constraints.
I ran out of cash so now I gotta be careful. The few problems I've had ate up the extra money I had.
I'm still finding the time and space to roam though.

I got to work immediately and they were assembled within an hour of work ...









Kodlin USA site says they don't fit the Fat Boy. Did you have any issues?

No problem at all, as you can see on the pictures they fit perfect, I do not know why Kodlin USA will say somthing like that.
I even installed the black version on my FXFBS ( Fat Bob ) so both the Bob and Boy have the Kodlin 3 in 1 on.

Did you have to get the BCM flashed for them to work properly?
