Not sure if you can cancel your order, but, worth knowing for the future, I can highly recommend getting parts from Jersey Harley-Davidson (jerseyh-d.com)
Yeah, I've used them before, but for this I've tried every dealer in the UK, ebay, amazon, ain't nobody got nothing.

Damn! I'd still try calling Tony (Ecomm Manager) @ Jersey Harley-Davidson to see what he can do (i.e., assuming you haven't done already)

BTW: I went down the Softbrake route: Softbrake.com | If you don't have a Softbrake, you're dragging your feet.

Today was a big day (for me). I finally started making mods to the 2022 Fat Boy. I've been riding it stock since August of 22. I started with some new baggage and tool kit. Once those were on and I felt secure with them, I rolled the handlebars forward some and underslung the mirrors so I can actually use them hopefully. I still have some tweeking to do there. Also, not sure if I got the tool roll secured correctly. I can't find any clear pictures of how that is done, so I just winged it for now.

I have a sissybar, luggage rack and the hardware coming next week. I'll have to fit the hardware for those between the bags.

Picked up the Harley Compact Air Compressor with Light. I'll keep it in my swingarm bag.

Damn, that color blue looks perfect on the Fat Boy. Sharp, brother!

It was easier / quicker getting a cruise control switchgear, boggles my bloody mind they can't chuck a bit of metal on a mill and whazz these out like sweets.
I've tried ordering from the states a couple of times, but I'm getting told there's some agreement in place that won't let them ship overseas, bleedin' asshats

I didn't want a rechargeable one. If I need to use it, I don't want to have to worry about it having a charge or charging it while on the road before it could be used.
