The badges are painted on, I guess to keep people from putting it on non anniversary models 🤔

The temptation for one of these is strong, but the amount of stuff I'd have to "Fix" on it would put too much on the price tag for an already pricey bike.
I'd have to grab a set of satin chrome heat shields, street canons, chrome intake, Satin chrome rocker box covers, and chrome pushrod tubes.
Not sure why they went nearly full blacked out when the bike in Termintor 2 wasn't.

I put a deposit on one tuesday going for a test ride tomorrow, will be trading in my slim s if all goes well.I went to see it yesterday when it arrived at the dealer.It looks so much better in person, the last bike I had with a wide tire was my 06 nitetrain.I hope it handles a lot better then that one did.

Find another dealer. That’s appalling. I get making you pay full MSRP but that’s it. Our dealer has one that’s asking MSRP.

The bike in Terminator 2 had an Evo in it.

Some of you are forgetting that the original fat boy was silver with yellow accents.

Yeah, that's why I want the chrome rockerbox covers, and chrome pushrod tubes and skirts.

I think they could do without the silver trim on the wheels, and the inflated price tag.

so I took the fatboy 114 out today for a test ride,it's definitely a different handling bike then my slim s.I love the looks and the performance from the m8 114 but the handling traits are different then what I'm used to.I have to make a decision by monday morning. I may take my slim s out tomorrow just to compare how different they are. Anyone have some input on the fat boy handling I would appreciate any input Thanks!
