Just wait till I get a Tall Boy seat on it! The “dead bear” shall return!

I test road one last yr, really liked it....just couldn’t afford it ....congratulations it’s a beautiful bike

Yep, we’re similar dimensions, though I have a bit more ballast. I go through the same fitment issues worth every bike. This one has me (just like the rest) a bit too close to the tank. A new HD Tallboy seat designed specifically for this and the breakout is on the way, and should do the trick. Plus the new style doesn’t look like the traditional “dead bear” that Cvaria coined about three years ago.

That and some tall bars and it’ll be there. I got a plan in my head. I really like the digital gauge set on the riser clamp on the new Street Bob and Breakout’s. Looking at the parts fiche, they use the same 4 conductor canbus connectors, and the breakout is basically identicla to the Fatboy except for the front end, so I *believe* it would work. I’m going to get a 8 or 10” riser and a drag bar, which’ll give me my preferred T-bar style hand position and have the full gauge data right in my field of view. No more looking down at the tank.

Its a ~$200 gamble (the cost of the gauge) but if it works it’ll be a big deal for me. This is what the console looks like:



The odometer portion can be rotated to tach, trip and time. I’ll get the top clamp chromed and it should be perfect. The stock gauge will just stay where it is, dark, unless I find a cool blank or cup holder or something lol.
