Yeah they're not nearly as "hard" to ride as some reviewers make them out to be. Not a sport bike but coming off a larger, heavier bike and you can still appreciate how much more nimble they are than a lot of other bikes.

150+hp 150+tq Fat Boy is insane. You could probably make a few very expensive cars sweat in a straight line.

Trying to stay away from the forum until I got the bike, but this thread makes it hard. September/October cant come fast enough.

I had a "light to light" run with my Fat Boy 131 against a Lamborghini (don't know which model) just the other day. Stayed right with him all the way. My wife was with me on her Ryker Rally so she is my witness :-)

I had the windshield hardware powder coated Gloss Black and got a 19" tinted screen from Freedom Shields, but they only make the wide version. I found a local place that is going to cut it down to match the compact shield width and it should look really good when I get it done - here is what it looks like now:

It is a Cycle Shell...love it! Here is one for sale here but it is not the largest one like I have - it held my custom/stretched Road Glide before I sold it: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/multi...ver-350-a.html
