Finally got to go out for a long ride today. Love the bike. Cruise is one of its best features. I use it all the time, and it works flawlessly. My cruise bars, also work fantastically. Can't have enough foot positions on your bike. Finished some more mods last night.
New 32 Ford tail light
Air cleaner insert
Extended indicator buttons(much easier to reach now)
Re-routed front brake line
iPhone mount
Existing mods.
Removed heel shifter, and cut shaft flush to forward shifter
Old script Harley caliper inserts
Derby cover
Moved front indicators(tank wreckers)to front forks
Nostalgic grips
Made rear brake foot pad an inch narrower
Added my new "cruise bars" invention to foot boards
Great looking mods to your ride.
Had a chilly ride on mine today down to Goodwood, there is always something going on there at the weekend & often get to see their spitfire out the hanger.
In my never ending quest to form my version of a retro-modern Slim, I switched
the front "trailer" fender for a Street Stalker version. Kind of looks like a "streemlined"
or melted version of a deluxe - sort of... I also switched the rotor for a
floating EBC contour version and the caliper for one from an XR.
Here's a picture (also visible is a Cycle Electric voltage regulator)
Finally got around to working on my 'flat seat pan" mod and "no-ECM hole" fender
today too... Got to get it wrapped up since it's nice weather...
hope this helps,
T.
are those XR caplipers as hRd to find as those Brembo made V rod ones?
Picked up my 2016 Fatboy S yesterday. This is a fun bike to ride. Feels like a rocket ship getting off my 2014 Street Glide. I had the following installed by the dealer:
16" Factory 47 Legacy Bars in vivid black
Harley Nacelle
Bagger Bags Daymaker with Halo Trim
Custom dynamics smoked turn signal lenses, front and back
Harley Smoked tail light
Harley Get a Grip grips
Harley lay down license plate holder
Harley Flushmount Fuel Cap and gas gauge
Freedom Union 2 into 1 full exhaust
Kuryakyn Mark IV Cruise Arms
Tuned by Powervision 2 with base map from Fuel Moto
Leather swing arm bag

That is a sweet setup right out of the gate. It looks "right." The only thing I'd do is move the turn signals to the triple tree area. That's not a criticism, just one additional change I'd make if I had a badass Fatboy like that. Congratulations.
Your mod list reminds me of my Street Bob that I ordered from H-D1 then had a bunch of stuff installed before delivery (including 16" apes.)
I put about 20k miles on that bike in 18 months, sold it to move overseas for, what was supposed to be a few years, and ended up coming home after 6 months. I regret selling that bike. I don't regret my Slim S though, so all is good.
If I ever get tired of the S Olive Gold, I'll paint my bike Candy Orange in honor of the Street Bob (and because that color is cool as hell.)
Looking good Sticks! I've got the same taillight- just mounted mine higher up. Been thinking about upgrading it to LED though. tcbroschoppers.com has the LED upgrade if you decide to do the same.
