    Good video. The engine problems you’ve had is nuts. Glad to see you’re still on it and digging the bike.

    Hi, UK Fat Bob 114 owner, (15k without issues) would love to know where you got the orange speedo trim?

    I've heard this before . . . about metal shards being found throughout M8 engines. Not very confidence inspiring.

    I’m about to buy one did anyone at Harley explane as to why you had these problems? And do you think a stage 3 upgrade to a 117 would resolve this issue?

    • @FatBoyBob
      @FatBoyBob  Před 2 lety +3

      I really think my issues were just really unlucky events. I think when my tappets and lifters cracked, those out the metal into the engine causing the second failure. The. The comp failed, throwing off the drive shaft, causing the 4th issue again. The comp is really the only thing I constantly see issues with. An upgraded comp is probably the best thing to do with the money

    How tall is your windshield? what bar bag do you have?

      I have the 9inch windshield and the bag is the Harley handlebar bag (smaller one) to be able to fit in there.

    I have a 2018 fat bob with 10,000 miles on it. The bike still runs strong, and can I ask what mirrors do you have?

    • @FatBoyBob
      @FatBoyBob  Před 2 lety +1

      I have the long stem mirrors from Harley. I liked the look of them, just inverted them. Had to go with the long stem in stead of stock so they don’t hit the tank.

    Wow I have a 2021 and those are some scary issues. This is the bike I have always wanted since it came out in 2018. The engine problems are scary and the aftermarket sounds annoying too smh. I don’t like have nagging issues like that with anything so now idk, this was such a big investment too 🤦🏻‍♂️

      It was a 2020 model year. And the pistons and cylinders cracked due to metal shavings getting inside.
