My 2012 is probably my last, i have no plans to buy another bike. I have always loved the fat boy, but never bought one with the idea of thinking i just couldn't afford one. But i am truly glad i waited, this is my dream bike.

Anyone have any tips or suggestions for headlights? I don't mean the typical replacement LED but something different in shape or size.

I go back and forth on that. Sometimes I like the way it looks. Other times I don't.
Was kinda thinking something slimmer/more low profile than stock. I thought I had a pic saved on my phone but I don't.

I thought about it to, but then it just sticks out like a sore thumb. i saw one in person and it threw off the look of the bike IMO. I added the other highway lights, i think it gives it a more classic look

I rode this last 100 miles WITHOUT my back brace on...I have one of the S3 Back brace "Shirts" and was able to ride without it for the first time...

Attachment 264211

I will quit posting about it after this one...Just wanted those interested in getting one know that I am still completely satisfied with it...

what kind of backrest is this? How does it feel?

My 2014 FLSTFB. They released an all blacked out version a couple years later of course so I can spend a ton of $ on replacement parts... Lower Forks still haven’t been converted because of the added expense. Just want to do that and fork covers... maybe a nacelle headlight. In a perfect world I’d love to swap the rear fender for something more streamlined, but again, that’ll take more $ and time and probably a new seat to be compatible.
