Talking Everything 2018 FatBoy thread

I see several of these “everything” threads but not a specific 2018 FatBoy thread. Consider this a thread to ask questions, give advice, talk about things just coming out for our bikes like seats, exhaust etc.
Please don’t be shy....post up! Thanks

I'm the proud owner of an 18. First pretty day I'm going to post some pics. Only mods I've done is detachable sissy bar and luggage rack. I bought my wife a Sundowner Pillion for when she rides the I pop it right back off. I've been waiting patiently for a few options on a 2 into 1 exhaust and I'm about to go nuts. D&D should have theirs out anytime now. Probably do a woods cam and a 2 into 1 this spring.

Sounds great. Glad you posted. I was beginning to think I was about the only one with an 18 FatBoy.

G'day from down under
Picked my 114 up early January and I am very impressed coming from a Fatbob. What got me was the look, absolutely taken by the stance and the lines it possessed
Added sundowner seats/SE pipes/sissy bar/wind shield/cruise control and just waiting for some bits to come on the market for highway pegs as I am 6'2 and would like stretch out a bit
Ride is surprising you really need to ride one before bagging them
Really looking forward to seeing others ideas. Gee's thread I have followed wth great interest. Keep them coming
Ride safe and enjoy the Harley's of the future

I also have an 18 Fatboy 114. I put the 15 inch windshield, HD bags from a 17, Shift linkage, crash bar, shifter peg, mirrors, and a badlander seat.

No I have a Black FLFBS about a month now. Still waiting for Vance Hines to release the Satin Chrome Eliminators. Nobody has them in stock yet. I love the bike. I'm 71 and went from a CVO Street glide to this. SG too heavy. Man this bike is fast for stock.

107 in industrial gray, so far I've done stage 1, new grips, 15 inch windshield, swing arm bag and luggage rack. I'm not thrilled with the sound of the street cannons, doubt I'll make it to end of warranty before a pipe change.

This is my 2018 114 FATBOB!!! It is the funnest bike I have ever ridden and I love it. This is my 3rd harley, and second fatbob (I had a 2013 model)

Mods include changing the derby cover, grips, levers, spark plug wires and plugs, K&N air filter, Vance and hines FP3, and bassani sweeper exhaust. I think the exhaust is the best looking on the market for this model. Future mods include a different cam and new turn signal lights.
