Nicely done. I really enjoy my '23. Agree with all of your points on this bike. Very nice content as always. I really like your honest, not putting on a show, narration. Lots of good insight in many of these videos that you do.
Thanks. Gotta stay honest otherwise it’ll be like everyone else.
Love the review, did not know I had a usb in the front of the bike. Got mine 2 months ago a red rock and I'm very happy with it.
It’ll do you well.
Good review. I have a '21 model and just love it. Have changed the seat for the Tallboy one from Harley. Major improvement.
A better seat is definitely a good upgrade on this bike.
Very thorough tour. Your bike looks and sounds great!
Thanks boss 👍
Fantastic review, enjoyed very much, very informative. Thank you.
No problem. Thanks for watching.
Great informative video. I've been considering this bike for a while.
Thanks. I love the bike.
Thank you for the Review. I have a better understanding of my bike now. I had to remind the dealer to give me the owner's manual before I left. I only have 12 miles on mine so far from when I drove it home. Can't wait to really take it on a ride.
No problem. It will definitely be a fun bike. I also have videos from a couple of years ago on changing the fluids and the security system features. Thanks for watching.
Nice review, very thorough.
Indeed 👍
Great info - got the Rock Red, absolutely love it.
Sounds nice 👍
Great Review, I bought my Fat Boy in Vivid Black, great Bike
Thanks champ 👍
Love it ! I don’t know if you haven’t done a vid before on this but you should do one on your cleaning methods because fuck she shines ! lol.
Thanks. I definitely don’t do anything too special for cleaning. Other than it’s usually all done by hand.
Had my 2024 Fat Boy for just over a week now as a counter point to my BMW GSA which I use for longer distance rides and touring. It’s my first ever Harley-D having never owned a cruiser before and as I live in the UK, getting used to the way the FB handles around our roads commands my full on attention…….which is a good thing!……..looking forward to growing into the brand and miles more grins as I gain confidence with this stunning machine 👍
It’s definitely a bike that takes a little getting used to. Hope it gives you many miles of fun.
Thats the best looking harley, harley builds.
Agreed 👍
I'm probably the exception...but I like the tail light and the plate on the fender instead of our version here in the US. Beautiful day when you filmed this... we have snow in Colorado today!!
I don’t mind the plate off the back but we really don’t need the single brake light. It’s nice day here today again. Sorry to hear you have that crappy snow there.
Great review
Thanks champ 👍
I like the changes verses my 2016 model. I don't know why it's taken so long for Harley Davidson to incorporate a cooling system of any kind on their bikes. Someone told me they're only doing it now because the EPA is forcing them to. You would think they would have water cooled them years ago for increased reliability and rder comfort. Great review. Thanks.
The bikes now days are definitely upgraded from 2016. I think the cooling system was a long time coming. Harley probably has to walk a fine line between tradition and progression. Thanks for watching 👍
good morning nice wright up on the fatboy i think you are happy now i still have my fatboy on the battery tender weather here in boston sucks cold and windy a killing frost every morning this week looks better hope to get one ride in take care ride safe brother
Thanks. I figured the weather would be nicer there. Hopefully things will look up soon.
Hope it'll give you many years satisfaction. I'm one of those that prefer the looks, sound and feel of the twin cam (and EVO) Fat Boy. But I can appreciate the M8 iteration, too. (I wonder if your viewer bike's fuel gauge is working properly with the larger, Fat Boy tank on it. I've known cases where it didn't).
Hard to say. I never asked but it’s a good question.
Hey Saint, great vid, thanks and she is a beauty, are you planning to change the bars this time around? You usually go with apes and I was just curious if you are staying stock or not. Glad you can finally get out and ride, great to see you back on a fatty, stay safe my brother
Thanks. For now I’m going to keep the bars stock. We’ll see how I’m feeling later in the year.
In England and considering a move to HD and, specifically, the FatBoy; the best looking HD in my view. Currently riding a late (and excellent) Yamaha XJR1300 that is stylish, nimble and with bags of torque. Problem is, the old twisty, country lanes that were all quiet, in good condition and had 60mph speed limits back in our hay day are now full of pot holes, cyclists, horseriders and 40 mph limits. So, maybe it’s time to just bob along on a cool-looking bike that can be really stable at low speeds, comfortable at cruising speeds and fast out of corners - and look good doing it. Thanks for the review.
No problem. Sounds like you have the same issues as we have here. Minus the horse riders. The Fatboy would be a pretty good cruiser for the type of riding you’re talking about.
Great commentary on the Fatboy.
Thanks boss 👍
I like the twin cam version the best although I’m sure this one handles superbly And rides great. My main issue is the headlight Necelle i’m just not digging the way the front end looks one of these days. I’m gonna take one for a test ride.
The front end seems to be pretty polarizing for a lot of people.
Awesome bike!
Agreed 👍
Have an extremely good ride for the rest of your life🤘✅
Thanks champ 👍
Can you post a link to the chrome oil cooler cover and that black oil cooler guard? Thank you!
The chrome cover is straight from Harley. Part number 62500026. The black guard is from Emery Accessories. I think they are only on eBay. Give them a search on there. It’s a company from Australia.
@@canadiansa1nt309 thank you sir!
@@brandonvincent1709 No problem. Thanks for watching 👍
The best looking fat boy. I feel a bit weird writing that but as far as motorcycles go it's true.
I have a hard time picking. I still have a soft spot for the evo fatty.
@@canadiansa1nt309 I thought it was black fatty, I thought that was hilarious
I love your bike and your video. However, I prefer the sound of the stock pipes. I'm weird.
Thanks. Can’t say I’ve heard too many folks say they like the sound of the stock exhaust. But everyone has their preferences. Nothing wrong with that.
Great video right up until you said they're known for "high torque and neck snapping power" "getting someone off the line" is exactly what will happen when you whack the throttle, which by the way Harley's have always been known for. They are like freight trains they'll take you off the line and then lose in the middle until that freight train starts to come alive then you better be hanging on for dear life!! And EVERY Harley Davidson is woefully undepowered when it comes to "stopping power"!! They all should have dual discs up front and at a minimum a 300 mm single disc in the back.There is no "overkill" when it comes to braking!!
Got through in one sitting just fine. Your talking about a fatboy for gods sake ha.
Id miss the heal shifter. Did you mention if that year model comes standard with cruse control or alarm?
I’ve never had much use for the heel shifter. I did manage to mention both.
what is the zero to 60mph?
Not much over 4 to maybe 4.5 seconds.
That headlight is FUGLY!
I don’t mind it
"torquey for neck snapping power, but you wont get anyone off the line but may pull away down the stretch" This makes no sense. Yu may need to reevaluate your understanding of how engines deliver torque vs power as well as how gearing may effect that. This has kind of discredited you in my book.
Well, I’m all broke up by being discredited in your book. I’ll try to pick up my shattered life and carry on.
For a guy that usually ran a 16” rise ape with a riser, I’m surprised that’s not the case here?? lol
Well, at the moment it’s money. We’ll see how things go later in the year.
@@canadiansa1nt309 funny, money is also the same reason my bike is more stock than what I want it to be now too. Well not so much a money problem as a lack of it haha. Sometimes I wonder it it’s better to just add it all on at the dealer and finance the whole deal. I personally got zero add ons last time to keep it cheap
actually, way back in the day the left gas cap was a gas cap for the left tank.😏 thanks for reminding me how old i am.🤔anyway, you seem to be pretty straight and not a BS'er, so i gave you a sub.
Thanks boss 👍
