The switches don't illuminate.

Local Harley dealer (Desert Wind in Mesa, AZ) has this for sale...... Some of you FatBoy guys might enjoy it?

Hey there!
Anyone running pullback handlebar risers on their '18+ Fat Boy?? Any thoughts??
Considering pulling the trigger but wanna be sure on my late 40ish ergonomic needs before I do.

I put them on mine, 4" HD risers. Brought the bars up and back, without needing to do anything to the wiring or cables. Made a big difference in my comfort level.

Default 2018 Fat Boy should I get it????

I currently have a 2013 Heritage softail and over the weekend I test drove a 2018 Fat Boy with a stage 1 kit. I took it for a spin even though I was looking for a bagger. From light to light I had the biggest grin you will ever see as that bike was on a mission. I didn’t get to take it into any truly tight curves but from the limited turning I did I felt like the bike just wanted to stay upright. I get that those big a-s tires are the reason for it but my question is this. Has this been a true issue for any of you? Can you get use to it or do you need to truly take turns and twisties differently on this bike? Lastly how does the bike feel on a long ride is it comfortable and easy or does it make you work?
