Seems everyone hates the new wheels on the 2022. I kinda like them, the more I see them. Guess I am wrong

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have a 2022 fat boy over any other harley.

Default Tank/Fenders trade

I have a 2020 FatBoy in River Rock Gray - which is closer to brown metallic. It is the two tone with Black.
Looking for a skins swap to a Gray or Charcoal or Orange…Maroon…
Anyone? Beuhler…?

Aargh..my 22 is at the dealer, but due to season start and everyone wanting their bikes services asap, they haven't had time to set it up. Was hoping to get it by the weekend but it looks like it'll take another few days. The wait is killing me

I have a 2018 FLFBS - interested in powder coating the wheels satin black. Has anyone done this or have any experience with it?

Try here:

But it is possible - take them off, remove the tire, hub, etc. and take it to a powder coating shop.

got my first 100km done on my Fatboy 22. very happy with it so far, incredible to ride. way more relaxed riding than my low rider S used to be, bike just forces you to take it slow and enjoy the scenery which is what I was looking for. of course, still running it in. only issue so far is the seat, my butt hurts a bit after an hour or so. hope it'll improve a bit, suppose the seat needs to be run-in too? might look for alternatives down the road. like the looks of the stock seat btw.

So I never had any issue with the stock seat on my fat boy. Even after a 300mile day, where I had run 130+miles in one stretch.
That may have more to do with the fact that I'm 128lbs though.
I did replace my seat with a Knuckle Profile Seat from Saddlemen which I use most of the time, and I have another Saddlemen seat an Explorer RS that I use for touring, but I have yet to do along range run on it.
The Profiler seat is very similar seating position to the stock seat, with a very slight move backwards. If you want to swap seats, the knuckle profiler has the deep crease like a short back step up, and it'd be the closest to get that comfort gel, and planted in seat feel without going to a Step Up or Explorer.

Well Fran, it might be more than just the differences in weight. You gals are just built a little different than we are.
