I'm still looking for a suitable seat where I can sit at the level of the marker ...

The Saddlemen Knuckle Profiler Seat is very similar position, The BW Profiler Seat is almost the same as the Knuckle but with a more modern look.
It's about the same height, and maybe an inch backwards.
The Stock seat was pretty good for me.
Those are about as close as you're gonna get that I can think of

I am not done autotuning yet, but my now 0-60 time with the SE8 447 Cam.
Stock rolling start 0-60 was 4.007 Seconds.
SE8-447 with FuelMoto USA map that's actually worse than the stock cam in 80 to 130...

Powervision does basic auto tuning, the wideband attachment is the upgrade.

The 15inch Big Brake Rotor Kit from Arlen Ness DOES NOT fit the 2018 Fat Boy.

All of the Fitment checks on the sites that sell these kits say it does.

IT ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT.
Infact trying to install it scratched up my bike's clear coat on the bottom mount of the fender.

Thanks Fran. I've been thinking about doing that upgrade myself. Guess that I won't now.

Oh and thanks for the info on the Powervision.

I had to break out the touch up paint and fix the paint gouges.
I'm pissed, because now I have messed up paint AND no big brake rotor.

I'm looking up different high performance brakes now. I haves some ideas.

You need to take it to a good dyno tuner and have it done right.

If you're referring to my post, please PM me with your credit card information, or I can supply you with my PayPal email account. Not all of us have the funds for such things. In February when I retired I went from $100,000+ to $43,000 per year. I had no plans to upgrade my motor. But boredom set in and I decide to upgrade.

Unlike others, I do my own wrenching. I already had the FP3 tuner which supports different cams, the S&S 475c being one of them. After three autotune sessions, my Fatboy is running really good, though there is room for a little improvement. My low-end torque is surprisingly good. I sent my map to V&H and within a few hours, I was writing the map to the ecm. Unfortunately it started to rain again and I wasn't able to try it out.

But I will be checking my PM's for your donation to help me buy a Power Vision and get a Dyno Tune.
