2016 Fat Boy w/ 120R concerns.
Giving this bike some serious thought.

Lifetime eng & trans warranty.
Concerns are; Has the 120 really been proven as a reliable daily rider? I know there was a lot of talk about the 120, that they had no warranty when new. That they needed upgrades outta the box. Is this still true? It does have upgraded exhaust, and air. Is that enough? Or, with the warranty, should this be a concern?

I dont think the warranty forever company will offer that coverage on that bike. That coverage does not apply to anything performance from what I know about them. If that is a 120R it doesn't even come with warranty from HD when you buy it. Unless they have changed that recently, it's been a little while since we sold one.

Very common for piston slap noises, too. Has a very short skirt on the piston, and they get real noisy, and seen some fail, and get sideways in the cylinder. Not a good thing. In my opinion, unless you are a good mechanic, and don't mind doing lots of work on your bike, (including lots of money) I'd look at something else. And like anything, there may be some good ones, and bound to be some bad ones, good luck.
