Speaking luggage capacity... anyone think the weak point in the bags are those struts? My commuting backpack is little heavy or when I get anything heavy from the store (milk juice etc) I’m putting too much stress on those. Or when I overfill the luggage, same worry. As opposed to touring bikes that have the top open luggage. Anyone heard of those bags and struts failing already? Or I may be worrying about nothing.

Default Has any fitted the Ohlins front fork cartridge kit

Just wondering if any of you have fitted the Ohlins front cartridge kit reference Nix 30 FSK510 to get a bit more feel from the front end.

Hi, love the luggage rack. Can you share info on make, model, etc. I’ve been looking for one, but have yet to find one. Thanks.

What Huntwhenever has is probably larger and cheaper than Harley's as even with 20 percent discount its expensive. But It is a no tools quick change unit even faster than our fairing and bags pop on & off. Not sure if the larger low line Harley trunk could be made to fit.

Then they picture three versions of a box for it. None have lighting.

I used the HD detachable topcase mount pictured above, then mounted a Givi V56 56 liter topcase.

I'm in the process of getting floorboards. I can get a stock set off a M8 Fat Boy for a decent price. I can get a set of Mini boards from a friend for free, he liked them but he bought a new Street Glide so he just has them setting around. I would need a adopter for about $50. I can save a lot of money but I like the stock look of the Fat Boy boards. What to do ??

Has anyone put the longer Heritage stock shocks on a Sport Glide? If yes, did it ride smoother? How much did it raise the seat height? Thanks.

I did. It worked out great. Seat raises probably 3/4 inch. The ride quality it better and the turn-in is better.

I bought this for my 2020 Fat Boy but they also fit the newer Sport Glide since the speedo is the same size. I had to special order them from Germany and to save on shipping I got 2 extras - if interested PM me:

10,400 miles in, and I finally found a bike that I am pleased with enough to keep for good. Sure I made some changes, but we all do. The way it rides and handles makes it feel like a BMW boxer. Agile yet planted.
