- 2018 Fat Boy 117 Stage 4 First Ride
My first time on a stage 4 117 and it did not dissapoint. The engine was response, fluid and and the sound coming through was amazing. The Fat Boy felt easier to manage this time round however I still stick to my first impression of the bike not being designed for carving the roads.

Im so glad someone is actually making high quality motorcycle reviews. That intro was 🔥🔥🔥
Great route! And, one of the very best Harley shops to start from, recognised it straight away. Superb bike and excellent review, thanks.
I rode a FatBoy 114 at a dealer demo event during Harley’s 115th in Milwaukee. There is a ton of power. The handling is a bit different but you adapt quickly to it and learn to take corners slower and with a more aggressive lean. Great vlog man!
Sir... can u tell me what exhaust it got???
I love your enthusiasm coming through. As soon as you take off on a new bike, that is a huge thrill which you really speak to. So many other reviewers are riding along for ages waffling on about the weather or the price or the seat forgetting to describe the joy of that initial take off. Awesome review!
What a bike! Looks great, sounds great and I bet feels great👌 Nice review, looks like the weather held out for you 🤘
Your reviews always put me in a good mood 👍🏻 thanks for another excellent review video
Once again another brilliant review..hope to ride with you one day. Now that would be a good year
No matter how hard I try I can't seem to like anything else other than Harley Davidson , I have tried to broaden my taste and think outside the box , but all I can see is Harley Davidson , they are so beautiful .
Jerry Setlerr it's like I would hear myself
Especially the Fatboy Harley
Gawd, you really capture the feeling every time you open it up. Can’t wait to ride one and willing to sacrifice turns for sheer power. This will be next bike in my stable next to Triumph Thunderbird.
Great video and great review!
When I first time saw 2018 Fat Boy I was like OMG whats this?! But the more I look at that beast the more I like it and this is probably the sexiest bike ever!!
Great video!! Your enthusiasm just draws the audience in... Definitely agree about the handling aspect of the bike. It is designed more for laid-back straight line performance, not to say it won't cut a tight line but quick transitions are not its cup of tea. Can only imagine what it feels like for a stage IV/114 in a light chassis. My stage II /114 in my Roadglide Ultra pulls so well, Love It!!
Thanks ...
What a bike! I have an 08 Fatboy and it's hard work on the twistys compared to a Dyna or a sportster but I love it. Great v log keep em coming.
Absolutley love the fatboy. My dad had a 1998 95th anniversary fatboy when I was younger and loved them ever since. Not a fan of the newer front ends, they look abit too bulky and I'm not a fan of the new headlight either. Hopefully I'll have one, one day. Great test review motonewb!
Great enthusiasm in this review.
What a beast of a bike, I have a 2018 114ci and I love it, (new subscriber) love your videos👍🏻
MATE I LOVE YOUR PAGE YOU DO SUCH AWESOME REVIEWS, YOU HELPED MY PICK MY FIRST TWO BIKES. CHAMP...
Damn that is a sexy bike. If I could have any Harley it would definitely be that one. Thanks for the vid mate.
Great sound. 👍 Still one of my favourite Fat Boy videos on YT. Watched it at least a dozen times...😁
I'm sure you would be less tentative in corners the more you ride that bike .it is a beauty another great ride out cheers 👍
Lovin the sound of those short shots.
What a beast & beauty! 🙌 Great Vlog again, thank you!
Hello! My friend i have recently found your blogs I genuinely think your a fine motorcycle review guy very clear and honest opinions. I'm at present riding a 2019 sv 650 one of the finest motorcycles I've ridden in my personal opinion.
I always said one day i will have one of these machines to be honest I'm listening to your blog with headphones and I want one!! Take care my freind regards Pompey Trucker Tex, 🏍️🏍️🏍️
Love this bike and your review many thanks. You are right in saying you need to ride in a more aggressive style and I found that with heavy cruisers. That’s when the fun begins and you become one with the bike. Cheers
Best Fat Boy test drive I have seen so far; congrats & thanks
Love this review..man I love that bike ... keep up your hard work on this great channel.....
Stevie G Star thanks very much 👍
I love the look of the Fat Boy, and would consider one. Great review, you cover the important issues very well.
IN LOVE - the only thing i would change is the chrome back to satin and the original bars and switch gears. Everything else is mint!
Great vid/review bro!
Cheers from 🇺🇸
Jool 👍🇬🇧
Great review mate. I am looking at getting a fat boy 114 and by luck the same height and weight as you, so this has helped me lots.
Ride safe. Cheers
I'm a new rider who has been tempted by harley for a a while , maybe the whole lifestyle thing , but I love this review , you give an honest opinion and at times feel like you are just managing to control the bike ( in a good way ) the sound is awesome!!!! I've got to test ride this bike
I bought my 1st low rider in 1979, &5,200 out the door! Took it from New York this California twice on the old shovel head! Put the over 80,000 miles before I sold it for a Full Dress Police Special used for $3,800’! I’m moving back to the U S in a year! Definitely holing to buy a low rider, definitely putting on the stage 4 full kit! Can’t wait to get on that Bad Boy! Ride Hard!!!
Great vid pal! Awesome bike too!
Great review and I was excited the whole ride. :-)
Ive got a Honda Fury and Blue/White Softtail Deluxe and they both are great!! This was my last bike and I loved it too!!
Awesome power on that 117, test rode the fatboy 114 and had the same views as you my friend when it came to throwing that bike into curves. Not the best handling harley but what a powerhouse. Keep up the good work cheers. 117 in a street bob now that would be exciting stuff.
Elie Tarazi
Yeah I love the bit where he goes on about the bars making it easy to chuck about, then tries to flick it left and right, and it moves an like an inch either way. You put that much steering input into a sport tourer you’d in the other lane.
They should’ve made them with the well ported heads the 117 kit comes with, an exhaust that actually flows and a decent map from the factory...
I’d still love one though, but it’s knowing how much extra money I’d have to throw down before I was totally happy with it.
HANDS DOWN THE BEST FATBOY VID IVE EVER SEEN ‼️‼️‼️. GOOD JOB BRUH‼️
Fantastic Review Bro, I am planning to pick up an Harley Fatboy soon too, but here in India we dont have the 117, we have the 107 and the 114...
Thanks again for such a great review... Cheers.
What a beautiful bike!!!! Enjoyed the video a lot
I have the same bike and absolutely love it. It is my first new Harley. Really like that exhaust, i went with the stock look and screaming eagle baffles. Might change my mind on that. Great review felt like i was on it
how is it to handle this beast may I knw..
Same here love mine first new Harley I have purchased, sticking with the Willie G accents.
@@joshsiva just fine for me. You do have to set up you turns. Pay attention to what you are doing.
@@EarlGuyton425 ? Smoking some good stuff are you
@@audleyrice7143 The rest of us dont want to hear about your drug habit that you are trying to pay onto us. Your comment has been reported to You Tube
The most beautiful Harley, in my eyes. I test rode all the softail range, loved the Fat Boy, bought the Heritage. I tour, and the Fatty has no real way of loading it up; also no screen. I got a 107 with stage one, which is plenty fast enough for me. Head ruled heart this time, but I still lust after old Fatty.
I made the decision to go after the fatboy 114, stage 1 upgrade, street cannons heavy breather....every time feels like the first time. No screen but who cares? Watching the open road is simply amazing. Don’t regret my choice one little bit ;)
@@Exodia72 what all upgrades and price... Enticing
Nice, you must be loving life on it!
Gurdit Singh stage one means exhaust and intake upgrades. Heavy breather on the intake and street cannons for the exhaust. Around 28k all told :)
Jerry Setlerr tons of fun!!
I bought a Victory Highball about 4 yrs ago and the first time I opened that up I hit 2nd gear and my arse was nearly sitting on the A13 and would have been watching the bike disappear down the road last year I imported a 1995 heritage softail it is stunning loads a chrome .
That is one awsome bike, everything that you would imagin a harley to be,
As they say round my neck of the woods "" its there ay it"""!!
Great video, great bike! Subbed 👍
Simplesmente incrível!!! Da pra sentir a força!!! Máquina incrível e linda !!!
ela tem muito torck mesmo , mas não tem tanta velocidade final, boa pra carregar muito peso pra viajar mesmo.
I thought the same of the standard Fat Boy when I test rode one, would love to ride one of these and compare. I'de rather have a new Road King Special imho.
Nice just bought a 21 fatboy best bike I've ever owned, it's a bad ass bar hopper then it takes 1 min to install the windshield, sissy bar rack and bag and its a cruiser. I love the tough beefy look.
Gorgeous Looking Machine! How I wish I had the money to own it.
I currently ride a 2015 Road King - I've got a 110CI Tire Shredder kit going in this month. I hope it's as much fun as it looks!
Very good review, thanks.
Hot bike. I sat on that at the dealer and the bar set up is really comfortable - that tank wants to go straight - good for Florida
Ridden lots of bikes and one thing for sure is that Harley’s are fun to ride!
Nice review M love the paint job, caught your boot in the review are the Redwings or another brand if you could let me know keep up the reviews.
PR S tcx boots from Italy 👍
I have owned my 2018 Fat Boy 114 for just over a year now. These are actually great cornering bikes you just need to make sure the tire pressures are at or slightly above spec pressure. I put 44 lbs in the rear and 38 in the front and I just fling it around corners. Enjoyed the review.
Try 40 in the front. Its a vast improvement over the 36 recommended by the moco
@@MrDynafxdc to be honest I bought my 2002 FB 5 months ago and due to all sorts of family probs I have not had it on the road yet .I set tyres at 42 r 36 f
So once I get out on it I will check out your advice. I put solid FB wheels on a Sporty I had and there was a diff in handling though I loved the look .
The handling of the large tire is way overblown. Yes it's a bit different, but it's simply not that big of an issue.
I got a 107 stage 1. It rips just fine.
Súper video thanks for the ride. From México
Awesome review
such an awsome video, and beautiful scenery !
i think the reason it being hard to lean while going a little fast ,is because the rear tire is wide, and the front is narrow(ish)
making it difficult to lean while going fast.
having the front and rear tire the same width , gives you better leaning performance and better stability while leaning going somewhat fast, or really fast.
dimensions is key to stability, but, you already knew that. lol
superbly awsome video !! 1000 thumbs up !
Scorp thanks fella 👍
Yeagh he was tearin it up just a touch!
Love that bike, great video
I'm 5'7" and not that strong and love my '17 Fat boy. wanted to upgrade mine to a stage 4 for a while and gonna do it soon
LOVE that color scheme!
I've always wondered how much a pain the ass that chrome must be to keep so shiny, beautiful bike man
I had my 2007 FLSFT that started life with a 103 CI built to a 120 CI last year ,the 103 was very quick but the newly built 120 absolutely kills my 103 Screaming Eagle Road King .
I just traded in my 08 fat bob for the 18 fatboy with a 114 I gotta get this upgrade lol. Keep yours between the ditches
Harley's are fun because they're rude and rough, loud and torquey. Sport bikes are fast and can carve corners, sure, but you'll never get that feeling of a torque-driven pull. In the corners, it's more of a handful as well but that's part of the fun. You're more engaged with the bike and the experience. And at the end of the day, you can relax and enjoy the ride without your back and shoulders killing you.
Used Yamaha mt01 then.
Well i like my 2016 fatboy even more with the 110 motor it has a racing cam with freedom pipes i call it the monster i love it
This thing is just beautiful
Love the review, what did you use to record it
Fat boy always reminds me Terminator 2
Why I bought one lol
Yeeeee
Yep, me too. As soon as I saw the solid wheels I had to know what it was. That movie had to increase sales big time that year
That movie brought hd back from the dead.
"I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle (Arnie voice)."
Researching a new cruiser/HD Softail style motorcycle to get in the next 6 months, and the HD Fat Boy definitely looks the most fun to ride!
Enjoyed my friend... Great choice... Bravo
I'd love to experience a ride on this thing. Out of my price range living in a place where we have winter 6 months a year. Grab a nice touring shield , some bags and head for the nearest Mountain range in style.
The stage 4 earns it's keep above 4500rpm. Did you get there? My stage 3 is exhilarating enough. I can't imagine what more cam, head and throttle body does to the beast.
Sick. Love the color.
Great review 👍🏼 what you think va the Fat Boy S 2016 ?
personaly Im not a big fan of huge and loud exhaust but holly molly! what a sound. classic symphony!
thanks for the review. greetings from Russia.
In blue it looks fabulous
Those handle bars look like beach bars, with the pulled back style.
Does anyone know brand and type of the handlebars? They seem to be a little wider than the stock bars.
Can some ody tell what stage 4 kit seri is suitable for Fatboy 114 modelyear 2018 because Harley’S own pages give only stage 3 oppotunity?
Hell yeah love that sound
Hopefully it won't sump.
Good luck.
Enjoy the power till she blows.
(I've gone thru 3 - 117' SE Stage IV's)
Hope you have the warranty!
The 117 badge on the air filter! Where can I get it. Cant seam to find one in australi
Ha ha ha ... be careful be careful 🤣🤣🤣 lol ... best video best bike I've ever seen great ridding..
We've all pushed our Harley to far ha ha ha .. Fantastic. Great bike great work thanks.
Proformance wish how does it compare to the 114, also can the bars be changed? The chrome looks wonderful but I'd be concerned about looking after it. Iv seen some horror videos with pitting on the wheels after only few thousand miles. Is the blacked out version easier to live with?
Sound all through was mesmerizing for a MAN❤
What camera are you using looks amazing and sounds great
I think it's gonna be my new bike! But can I put the 2018 FXBR Breakout rear fender on it? I don't really like the stock rear fender!
Nice vid ,nice bike
Love it
Getting the Vance and Hines chrome short shots for my Fat Bob👍
Crazy ride !!!
The sound is awesome
gday mate great vid one this one!!! I cant understand why they didn't bring those colours out on the roadking of all bike,s to not have the 115 colours is bad in my boke!! do you have any idea why Harley never did it on the roadking????????????????????????
No idea at all fella. This Fat Boy was epic though.
Harley Davidson's cruise control is flawless
Wished you have the latest GoPro HERO 8 with stabilizer built in.
Nice review, looks very pokey! But the Fat Boy isn't designed with 'touring in mind' - more with phat-tyre posing in mind. And they're not fitted with Hollywood bars (like a Softail Slim); they're beach bars. The suspension is big improvement, but that's Honda for you.
Magnifique, merci beaucoup l'Ami !
Ive got a 117 fat bob stage 3 loads of power but runs out of steam at upper rev's so just bought the extra bits to make her a stage 4, hopefully be a beast for a Harley.
Back again 5 years later, bought myself a Fatboy instead of the Fat bob but it has a 131 stage 4 so love it.
Listening exhaust notes on headphones is blessing
I am planing to buy 107 road king and wanted to make custom color all of the body so dont need roadking special but only what i am really want is i want 117 not 114.. i know i can do 107 to 114 biut do you think i can do 107 to 117 one step as same or little more price? And i want use bassani full exhaust is it possible or i should use streaming eagle?
I need to know the name of those Bars and who makes them I wanna put them on my 2022 and will I need longer cables ?
Fatboy 114/darkhorse/fxdr114/breakout..
Seating position +seat comfort+ leaning + raw thump sound with exhaust...
Which one would you suggest.. Since done all four✔️(I believe) ?
Much needed input. Thanks
Beautiful 👍🏻
