I don't understand why they didn't do that from the start. Should have come out with the 117.

 

Now Thats a Hot Bike!! I was on the fence about picking up the Fatboy when I purchased my slim. If this bike was sitting on there showroom floor things definitely would have turned out different. It would be nice with the 117 though

 

Nice bike and I'm not into blacked out Harleys. I prefer tank badges instead of "stickers".

 

I think they could have gotten a larger tire on the rear if they tried. Cool looking I guess but not for me. I have a 24 Year old FB 1996. Still enjoy it.

 

I think 240s about as wide as you get before you start heading into car tire handling territory.

 

Metzeler do a 300 section,the Fatboy already handles like a pig without a bigger rear tyre.

 

Kinda like this.

 

If that thing had the satin chrome exhaust...holy ****, it would look amazing! I do like it the more I look at it. The tank badge is maybe not as classy as I'd like, but otherwise it's a bad *** scooter.

 

Nah, the stock Fatboy handles just fine for what it is. It takes a bit more effort to push it into a turn, but it handles just fine.

That being said, it would not be my first choice to run the Tail of the Dragon or for canyon carving, but for “fun” riding on regular country twisties it does just fine.

 

I think they learned their lesson from earlier bikes like the dyna lowrider s...... when you throw the screaming eagle motor in these special additions it takes away from the CVO lineup and the ability to charge so much for them. why pay 40k when you can get basically the same thing for under 25K. Not that I wold have mind with my 2020 lowrider s. I just understand why not.
