Where I come from if there are any mechanical issues they are fixed or replaced under warranty, apart from the brake rotor the other things are purely cosmetic, which most manufacturers do make changes from model to model. Also the disc rotor is a floating disc not a solid one like you have fitted.
This is not entirely true, because floating brake discs may only be moved sideways, but not in the radial direction, as can be seen here in the video. If this is the case, then either the floaters are inappropriate or worn.
I don't know where you get your info at, for fatboys! I just put 7,000 miles on mine, and my rotars aren't loose!!! Also, I put new SS full pipes on almost a year ago, and they don't need a tune. I live in California, and maybe in Mexico, things are different. Who the hell needs a dummy gas cap?
Oye acere the brake rotors are supposed to be like that,they are called floating rotors and are designed that way on purpose for better cooling and so they don't warp. You better hope HD doesn't sue you for misinformation
The video was never about mechanical problems. lol he literally said it's about what you're going to get and what you're not going to get with the new fatboy 🤣
U buy a new bike from Harley but must spend thousands of dollar to make it feel like a Harley??? Can anyone confirm this??? Asking because I'm considering fatboy as my first bike.
I think what he's referring to is the rumble. New HD's sound like sewing machines with the stock pipes, thanks EPA. And the rotor issue he had wasn't an issue, he had floating rotors before he went to solid ones. Fat Boys are great bikes man, I hope you find yours fast! Ride safe brother.
Bought with 800 miles, in 019, had the 1000 mile service, 18 grand out the door it was stock, i put 3 grand in it , i did all the mods myself, bikes never been to a dealer, scence i bought it, 4 years, been a great toy, smokes the 250, lol, pissess off people, , hmm, , , Harley did good, keep makin the Fatty,😎
Hey! Nice review and absolutely strong points made here. Might have some hints as to the reasons of some changes made in 2023. I only assume what might be the reason for changes, from my very own experience of having ridden more than 30 my own bikes over the time. The breaking discs/rotors are the floating type. They are designed to float and the clang noise is the side effect here - the very same construction have been widely used in sport motorcycles of 90' and 2000' and is still being used as far as I am concerned. The discs of this construction are less prone to deformation and micro cracks as the working surface is semi isoleted from the mounting part. This helps with teperature and force distribution especially when both exist simultanously. I would only check if the play is within the specs. More on the subject: th-cam.com/video/gsdAx2R44Co/w-d-xo.html Second thing the wheels. I love the look of full wheels but the design, although beautifull, might affect the steering, especially at high speed and side winds/blows (i.e. passing the lorry at high speed or on the wet/in the rain ) so I guess that's the reason for change.
My 018, FLFBS, WICKED RED ,TWISTED CHERRY,, 14in meathooks, Blow Exhaust, no baffles,, monster suker intake, custom shifter, and rod chrome Coil cover, 250 dunlop, rear tire, power vision tuner, 475 s&s cam kit, with oil pump, took off rear seat,, changed all shit torks bolts with stainless cap bolts, , way better, arp 12 point chrome bolts on the derby cover, hmm, 25 bucks lol, its a head turner, ,😎
Best thing Harley did , put a 240 , on the fatboy , floor boards, new frame, handles like a sport bike,, the 114 ci, mayby get a 121, in a few years, lol, they be makin them, for awhile , its a custom, thats modern, and badass,😎 has shit pot of custom parts, 😎 rock on Harley,😎
Hey, check out the custom bike builders, Fatboy, a badass custom , probly why there still a hot item, , some really badass builds,,😎😎 a better modern BigDog, 😎 probly be same price lol,,
Nice, sad you have shit wrong, on the rotors,, my,,.018, never had issues witb rotors, think company , that makes em, has a guy doing shit, machineing,, never had,a rotor do that, , well ya, i tuned with power vision, , night and day difference from stock, I put Blow exhaust on, , look it up,, made in Australia ,,

I have a 2021 Fat Boy (15K) and I have no problems with my rotors
That's good to know!!
17,500 miles on my 2020 Fat Boy, rotors are fine. I have the Vance and Hines slip ons… great Harley sound.
Where I come from if there are any mechanical issues they are fixed or replaced under warranty, apart from the brake rotor the other things are purely cosmetic, which most manufacturers do make changes from model to model. Also the disc rotor is a floating disc not a solid one like you have fitted.
Well tuned performance thanks mate.
Thank you 👊
GOOD information to have!! Thank you!!
Thank you it's nice to be appreciated 🙏👍👊
I also like the look of the single gas cap on my 2022. especially after i put the live to ride chrome and gold emblem i put on it
Lyndall brake rotors will solve the rotor problems. a little expensive, but well worth it for the look and performance
I just bought the 120th anniversary edition in Bozeman on Saturday thanks for the heads up
You are very welcome my friend. Enjoy the ride. beautiful motorcycle 👊
You are very welcome my friend and you'renjoy the ride. You got yourself a beautiful motorcycle 👊
They a floating brake rotors so what you think you're talking about is normal
This is not entirely true, because floating brake discs may only be moved sideways, but not in the radial direction, as can be seen here in the video. If this is the case, then either the floaters are inappropriate or worn.

Excellent knowledge! Thank you my brother!
My brother Always the first 👍👍👊
@@CoolDandy you know it 👊😊! Always my brother!!! You are the Best!! I Love you 😊👊
rotors isn't a issue. Are floating disc brakes like sports motorcycles. Who will complain noise from rotors with custom exhaust ? xD
Hello.. That's why I replace my. Now is a sweet ride no more noises 😍
I'm glad you finally was able to fix the rotor Dandy. Peace brother.
Hello my brother. Yes sir I'm a happy now. No more noise when I break 😍
Cant put soild rotor on front, rear is,solid, ,,, floating caliper in rear, solid caliper in front, floating rotor,
Thank you that's what I did 👍
You are talking about details, no real problems.
Your comparison is pointless 😅
The video was never about mechanical problems. lol he literally said it's about what you're going to get and what you're not going to get with the new fatboy 🤣
Nice bike can you get a translator next time?
Sure, dude, how long do you want it 😜
U buy a new bike from Harley but must spend thousands of dollar to make it feel like a Harley???

Sound like you have a really nice ride keep it up 👍
All new Harleys come with mufflers . They dont have any choice in that matter.
It will be cool if they add the nice ones with a good sound 👌
Best thing Harley did , put a 240 , on the fatboy , floor boards, new frame, handles like a sport bike,, the 114 ci, mayby get a 121, in a few years, lol, they be makin them, for awhile , its a custom, thats modern, and badass,😎 has shit pot of custom parts, 😎 rock on Harley,😎
Yes Sir 👍
How you put a solid rotor on the front, your caliper is not floating , hmm, you still must have a floating rotor,
I am a mechanic. I got a mechanic installing them from for me. It's a sweet ride now 😍
If solid rotor, your only getting the piston side, pad is breaking, hmm,
No more noise in my motorcycle. 👍
Floating rotor, made to slide side to side, compansate, for pad wear, rear is solid rotor, no movement, Caliper floating, moves side to side, ,
