I personally own a Fatboy and your video 100% aligns with my experience with it as well. Awesome bike, but like most things, there's details you should know for transparency. Nicely done video as always!
The Fatboy is definitely a cool bike but some folks tend to overlook a few things. I thought they should know the full scope of things before they buy.
Most uncomfortable and roughest riding bike I’ve ever owned… yet I’m keeping it. Lol
This was a great review! It was a straightforward punch between the eyes. Thank you!
No problem. Glad you liked it 👍
Just bought a Fatboy and this is the best Harley I’ve ever had . I have two other Harley’s in my garage .
New rider here: I fell in love with the fat boy when I first saw it. It will be my first bike when I’m ready to buy.
It’s a great bike that’s for sure 👍
@@canadiansa1nt309 oh yes sir. I can’t wait. Greetings and respect from the USA 🇺🇸
Sports terse are beautiful bikes. I love them the looks and handling. I had 73 xlch and five others l8ke Duoglide and nightride
Thank you Great advice
No problem. Thanks for watching 👍
On my 4th Harley since 1989 once i changed the oil i never had to top up.untill 12 months later i change oul again regardless of miles i did .in fact my 1998 wide glide factory battery lasted 15 years.
I bought a new 2023 Fat Boy - love the 114ci, really pulls. Good point on the seat, really sucks, replaced it with the Harley seat, like a new ride now. I don't relish changing the tires $$$ when the time comes, as you mentioned. I have an 09 Ultra with the 96ci, still going strong at 85,000km. Thanks for the video, lots of good points for those considering one.
I always loved the Fatboy. I can’t say that I wouldn’t get another if they use the 117 and have a model in white. But it does hurt the wallet when those tires have to be changed. Hopefully your Ultra does another 85,000. Thanks for the view 👍
I just bought a 04 from my son for cheap, runs amazingly well but needs some TLC. It's in the shop right now getting the 50,000mi service done, upgrading the rear suspension, inspecting and if necessary changing the camshaft tensioner, plus some odds and ends, new grips, LED light kits, and installing the security kit as well. He bought it about a year ago but lost interest in it, I've been riding it around and he finally said he'd sell it to me. I'm sure I'll eventually get a big touring cruiser or hell I may get a Lay-Z boy on wheels but for now I love the hell outta this bike.
Those earlier twin cams are really nice bikes. Sounds like it’s getting the treatment it deserves. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it for years to come.
This is very well done. Thanks for not ruining it with juvenile computer game music. (Otherwise I wouldn't watch.). Rocker box cover leaks are related to heat from low air flow mostly on rear. Air cool engine.
Thanks. I try not to get very fancy. Thanks for the view. 👍
Man i’m 17 and i bought a 2016 fatboy s and i love it can’t complain, Hell of a first bike
That is pretty nice for a first bike. Better than what I had for sure.
Ya did well .my 1st bike was a 25cc engine in a back wheel of a push bike .That was in 1957.Many bikes later i finally reached my goal ( after 3 diff Harleys ) I have a beautiful customised FLSTF .At the grand old age of 82.So u did well for a first ( 700 lbs weight ) Bike.
I’ve been told my 02 FLSTF Fatboy is the nicest one they have ever seen and I have too agree it’s a solid Badass
‘02 Fatboys are nice bikes.
You've spoken about uneven wear on the front tyre of the new style 114 Fatboy (yes, that's how tyre is spelt) - when I whinged about a slight radial raised area on the tyre affecting the profile, I was told (at the dealership), that it's "normal as within the surface of the tyre is a band which acts to ground the bike and dispel unwanted charges of electrical build up". My reaction was/is that this probably nonsense but, having had Harley's for a number of years it's just the sort of story that might be true (in intent anyway!).
I bought a 2023 black fatboy with a stage 2 and absolutely love it 😍
Stage 2 on a 2023 would make some good power. Sounds great too.
Yep... had the same exact issue with the factory Michelin Scorchers. What a crappy tire. The front tire completely cupped on one side at only 6k miles. Put on the Metzler Cruisetechs and they have been phenomenal.
I’ve had quite a few people recommend those.
Great reel. The only shortcoming with mine was the front tire wear, which was more pronounced on the right side. If the rider is serious about low-speed, take a skilled rider course; the FB will respond to inputs, and get you maneuvered within an 18' u-turn box.
Thanks. I had the same issue with the front tire wear on the right side.
Yup. @ 4:09 , I agree..... It's due to road Camber .( The center-line to road-edge slope, for water run-off ). My Bridgestones ended up like that after about 8,000 km;s and I replaced them with Shinko ( Yokohama's rebranding of their MC division rubber ). good so far at about 20,000 km;s of abuse, lol.
Harley would be wise to use a better tire. But then they couldn’t charge for frequent changes I suppose.
My factory Michelin Scorchers only lasted 3,500 miles. I replaced them with Shinko's and 4,800 miles later, they still look like brand new. I think the Shinko's handle better than the Scorchers, especially through turns.
ride my 2007 "opus" and i 'm still love it.... in France
Sounds coolio
I purchased a used 2019 Fat Boy 114 a couple years ago with 246 miles on it. I like it a lot and it really fit the bill for what I was looking for. I needed a long distance bike and actually bought a used 2016 Ultra Classic a year prior with 5 miles on it. I absolutely hated it and could write a book on why. I sold it 9 months later and began looking for something else. I considered EVERYTHING and saw the Fat Boy 114. It was at a dealership and the previous owner put about $5k of goodies into it. The bike was $18k OTD so I bought it. The main things I replaced were the pipes (V&H 300 Slip ons), V&H FP4 tuner, seat, LED turns, etc. I took the bike to Sturgis with my buddy in 2023 and it was about 7 days round trip. The bike puts out decent power and the ride is enjoyable. Aside from issues that ALWAYS plague every Harley (odometer fogs, gas gauge shows 3/4 when full, impossible to find neutral, etc..) I really do like the bike and so does my wife. I also ride a 2018 VMax that I take out when I go solo and want to have fun :)
Sounds like a good deal. Replacing the pipes and seat, as well as getting decent tune would definitely do the trick.
I used to think Fat Boy was a description of the rider.
In most cases
Definitely can be. I guess I’m an exception.
It is 🤔😳🤣😂😁😎🫡
it is I see fat boys on fat boys all the time almost gay like bahahahahahahahha
It normally is.
i got a 2022 and i love it. but you definitely need to have the money to upgrade. i spent about 1600 right after the break in for exhaust air cleaner and tuner. then another 600 for mustang front and rear seats, not to mention over 300 for a sissy bar and pad. then i spent 275 for the cruise control that i still need to install and then take to the dealer and have them turn on if i don’t get lucky and have it already work like i’ve heard some people have had happen. if i would have went with the fp3 tuner instead of the dynojet. the fp3 has a function to turn on the cruise control.
Yep, you gotta have the cash. I did a video a couple of years back on the total cost I spent on my 2021 Fatboy with add ons. I can’t remember off hand how much the total was, but it was a lot.
I just got a 2023 Fat Boy and love it the first thing I noticed is they come with cruise control now so that’s one thing off my list anyway LOL definitely had to get V+H slip on’s though those stock pipes are too quiet for my taste Lol
in 2018, on all soft tails, the Chassy, suspension, and breaks all got a much needed upgrade.
You are correct, sir
My 97 evo didn’t leak oil, the primary did, had to fix the clutch basket, (ate the snap-ring wrecked the bearing and fragged the inner primary case with the chain, had it welded) I put over 70,000 miles on it.
My rocker boxes and primary seeped some oil on my ‘95. That was about it for leakage. It didn’t even have as many miles as yours
Thanks for the info!! Factory tires suck, and not just from Harley. I like the 240's look a lot. Both my bikes have 180 rears and do well. I live 10 miles from Rocky Mountain ATV, and get a great deal on tires from them. They will mount them for you too, (off the bike). If I get real serious about getting a Fatboy, I'll know where to come first. Thanks!
The tires are definitely not the best, but they do look very badass. It’s a good idea to have good tire place as these are usually not cheap.
The fatboy is my first bike. It's already disassembled and being rebuilt
And the FatBoy Peace Officer which I have. 2008 Only 122 were FLSTF and only 60 in vivid black
Sounds like a nice one 👍
I totally agree about the Michellin Schorchers. Mine were HORRIBLE on my Iron. I replaced them with MIcheliin Commander III's. MUCH better tires. And YES. the Harley seats are horrible as well. Pieces of shit actually. I went with the saddleman.
I’ve heard of a lot of folks going with Commanders or Cruisetecs. A saddleman definitely gets the nod over those stock seats.
Hi! The custom workshop told that the fatboy's rear wheel is displaced by 8.5 millimeters relative to the motorcycle, and the front wheel by 3.5 millimeters. This is the likely cause of uneven wheel wear.
Good to know 👍
Love the Fat Boy but hate the softail design. Makes a simple job like pulling the starter or primary a nightmare when you remove everything under the seat to gain access. Still rides like a dream tho
It does tend to make some things a pain in the ass.
I don’t know if you sub to the channel krusei originals, but he recently did a two part video(s) about the original 1990 Fat boy and it’s 80 year old owner. I really enjoyed the videos, think you will as well. Neat old guy and the bike is his baby.
Never heard of him but i should check it out. Thanks 👍
Yeah, I think you would really enjoy the video… They showcase the bike… And the old man that owns it.
My first bike ever is a 14 Fatboy Lo. I knew what I wanted and knew that I'd outgrow a sportster by the end of summer, and I'd be pissed at myself for getting one. I'm soooo happy I picked the bike I wanted. Don't let people tell you to get a sportster first. Motorcycles are made so that everyone can ride them!
Most outgrow their first bike pretty quick. I think I got my first Fatboy after two seasons. If you think you can handle it, go for it.
@@canadiansa1nt309 Anyone can handle it. Stop with the Gatekeeping BS
@@TurnipGreen not “everyone” is going to be able to handle a 700lb bike with fat tires with zero riding experience.
@canadiansa1nt309 Motorcycles aren't made for super humans, my man. If they were, then no one would own one, and manufacturers would be out of business on day one. They're made so that ANYONE and EVERYONE can ride one
Motorcycles are not for everyone. With experience perhaps. But not just anyone can hop on any motorcycle and ride it with no problem. If you think that a Fatboy is no problem for anyone then
please post some videos of you letting anybody and everybody hopping on your bike and taking it for a spin. I suggest starting at a high school or university. I’m sure you’ll find some inexperienced riders willing to take your bike for a ride.
Thanks for the spot on info on the FatBoy. The stock seat does suck. Now know what to expect and save up for. Do you have recommendations for where to buy a new seat from?
If I was going to buy a new seat I would probably look at Lepara or Saddleman. Corbin isn’t bad either.
Good day Saint. I have an 18 Fatboy 115th anniversary edition that I’m looking at selling in the spring. I’m in Alberta. There were none of these in Sask. when new and 2 in Alberta.
Sounds like a nice bike 👍
Try a windshield on it? Why sell?
Thanks profesor!!
Your welcome
The whole concept of the fatboy was having a rear and front rim and tire of the same size, Fat Tire in Front and Back.
If you’re wearing the tires unevenly see a shop technician, you’re not set up on the lean axis, center of gravity.
This man is correct about Ape Hangers, Good for your back and posture, plus fun !
I actually had two different dealers look at the tire wear. Both said the same thing, that it’s apparently “normal” wear.
Definitely agreed with the apes 👍
I got a 21 fatboy solid bike I also have my fathers 63 pan head but I really want a 24 road glide
Those are a couple of nice bikes. The Road Glide doesn’t look too bad this year after they revamped it.
My 2000 is going in for a total motor overhaul. 32,000 miles. Getting hot cam as well as oil pump
At least you got 24 years out of her.
Try replacing 300 Avon venom and 140 avon venom on a big dog motorcycle. We have 2 ,plus a new harley fat boy.
160lbs and I ride a 04 Fatboy 1550 SE big bore kit and other engine work thing is mean love it
Sounds like it would be a mean machine 👍
Thank you.
No problem
Only a yuppy takes their bike to have the tires changed, or have any work done for that matter. I'll pay for mounting and balancing but that's it. Hell I pulled the jugs on my 2017 Fatboy S to change the o-ring gaskets between the jug and crankcase just last week. For all new gaskets from the bottom of the jugs up I was out between 3 and 4 hundo.
The tires can't be as bad as the Dunlop tires I ran on a Honda sport bike. The rear tire never lasted more than 2,500 miles and I wasn't doing burn outs, just accelerating hard.
They’re definitely not that bad 😬
I bought a 2008 Fatboy to compliment my V Rod, kept it for 2 years, for a 1600cc engine it was gutless and handled like a pickup truck, still own the V Rod which is not gutless.....😎
I definitely can’t say the Fatboy is about performance.
The V Rod is a beautiful bike. It's a shame the dealers didn't support it.
@@dzl8596 ...it needed skilled mechanics if it went wrong.....
Apples and pears?
Says the gutless passenger. Of course that‘s the difference between any classic american pickup truck and a standard corvette. Open your eyes.
I started on an iron 1200 and will be looking to upgrade soon. What do you think about the 114 street bob?
Nothing wrong with a Street Bob other than I’m not a big fan of mid controls and it has a smaller gas tank. Other than that it seems pretty good.
Thank you for your video. I'm also considering buying a fst boy. Do you think I'm too tall at 6 foot 4 for the fat boy? I don't want to change the handlebars for now.
I’m not sure that you’re too tall but you may feel a little scrunched up. You could look at getting a seat that sits you back a little farther if you’re not looking at changing the bars. Also, highway pegs on an engine guard would also help to stretch your legs out.
I'm 6' 3" tall and I'm kind of okay with it, but I'm probably going to build a custom bike with a stretched frame in about a year. The handlebars are actually about perfect and I'm comfortable with them. My biggest issue is the brake lever. They make an extended version but I think the longest I've found was a 1 1/2" extension and I think I'd need 2" to 2 1/2" to be a perfect fit for my legs (34" inseam). The shift lever is slightly more comfortable but an extended version of that would help me as well. I've been threatening to sell the bike pretty much since I bought it, but 8,300 miles later, can't bring myself to get rid of it. If you have the money, I'd build a custom, but you'll be okay on the stock Fatboy, albeit barely.
I started on an M109r 1800...800lbs wet. 123hp /260fat tire. Great bike. Im looking for fat tire, strong engine! FatBoy im getting next!
The Fatboy is a great bike. And it’ll be about 100lbs lighter.
Sounds like me, just wondering how well a windshield will work on a fatboy
240 rear tire
Doné or die, I just began whit a new fat boy, and I handle well, I don’t see way people complain about the turning, is jut practice
Some have a harder time than others.
Saw A 2016 Fat Boy S with 2500 K's on it Vance and Hines pipes My first Harley and last Best bike ever.
Always thought the Fatboy S was a bad ass looking bike.
@@canadiansa1nt309 yes I like it as older style looking before the change
nice wright up i hope every thing is well do you have any snow up there ????
Thanks. We actually don’t have much snow yet. It’s been surprisingly mild so far.
@@canadiansa1nt309were abouts are you in canada,I'm from the niagara area,between niagara falls and toronto.
@@beardoallin657 I’m in Regina, Saskatchewan.
I bought a 2023 fatboy last summer. It’s a great bike but the only query I have is what’s the trick of turning the bike into corners.? I tend to slow right down and do my turns, is there any other tips you can share with me. Thanks
Other than slowing down a little I would just take the turn a little wider than usual.
You gotta dip into the lean, if turning left you wanna turn right first then quickly left, that tightens the turn radius and also use one of your knees to push against the bike into turns
What Harley would you recommend for a 225lbs 6'3" new rider? With a Sportster my knees are up to my ears... Street Bob w/forward foot controls?
Well, I would always recommend something with a lower displacement like a Sportster for a newer rider, however, it’s not for everyone. A Street Bob or a Softail Standard would be the next step up. The Softail has a 107 engine, and the Street Bob has the 114. Both could work with forward controls. Another thing you could do is put on an engine guard with highway pegs. That would allow you to stretch out a little more. A good thing is that they both come with mini apes stock. For a guy your size that may feel more comfortable instead of the lower bars on other models. Styling wise, I find the Street Bob much better looking than the Softail Standard.
Get a sporty with forward controls
Any H-D is too small for anyone over 6 feet. Look at a used Yamaha or Honda if you want the bike to start every time.
@@scoutandscooterThats nonsense. A lot of Harley riders are the biggest dudes you can find riding.
for what it's worth, I started riding in 2022 on a brand new 2022 Fatboy. However, I did go through the MFS course and took additional instructions specifically low-speed maneuvers (clutch and Throttle control in the sweet spot called the friction zone). Practiced doing figure eights within a 20'-30' box.. I have never dropped the bike or come close to it...and now have 10k miles under my belt. It has nothing to do with the size of the bike, and everything to do with confidence. Confidence comes with training and practice..you can do it..check out the different "low-Speed videos online, I watched about 80 hours worth. God-Speed
Wow my fatboy was my first bike it Corners well just don't be afraid of ur bike I love my fatboy
I have a 1992 Fat Boy and i wouldn't trade it for the world. Its easier to ride than my 2020 Street Bob was.
I had a 1995. Wish I still had it.
I wanna buy a 91 fatboy because terminator 2: judgment day is my favorite movie ever. What do I need to know/be prepared for?
I’m not sure where to start. I suppose it would depend on the mileage. The engine is a 80 inch evo which is very reliable, but I’ve never owned one that didn’t leak from the rocker box covers. It’s an easy fix with new gaskets though. You may want to look at the primary chain tensioner shoe if you get one with higher mileage. The seat won’t be too comfortable for longer rides, and the suspension is not the greatest either. Those were the issues I had with the 1995 model I had. Having said all that, it would be a very nice bike to have. It’s just not made for long ride comfort.
@@canadiansa1nt309 thanks man, super appreciate it.
I have a 2002 Fat Boy, and the only complaint is that I have to get the stupid cam chain tensioner fixed. It's way too heavy for a first bike.
I had a 2002 as well. It’s definitely an annoyance to change out the tensioner. Also, I tend to agree that the weight is not great for a beginner.
I don't want to do the job myself, but the local place here wants $2,200.00, so i have no choice. What a joke.
@@guitarclevelandyou gotta be joking .here its £600 full job done with cyco pads ( they don't fall into bits when worn )
Also its only £100 to take off ex and cam cover to do a check .
Best to go up in weights really .I had 3 sportsters for about 8 years ( weight 485 lbs ) then a wide glide for 18 years ( near 600 lbs ) No
Call me crazy, but I've wanted one since I knew it was in Terminator 2.
That movie was the reason I got into motorcycles. It was why I got a Fatboy the first chance I had.
Same
Sadly i lost my interest at un even tire wear and total tire cost, thanks for letting us know
No problem. It’s an issue with the new Fatboys and the tires are expensive to change.
. I really not surprised because I noticed while sitting on a new 2021 model fatboy and standing it strait up it would fall left each time..i didn't like that..the have that power train pushed to the right of the frame as far as posible, but I still find that clutch pack sticking out so far a nuance..so I now have two late model touring harleys
@@canadiansa1nt309 mine is a 2018, 107. 2 yrs ago I fitted Bridgestones at about %60 of the dealer price for Scorchers.
A T32 rear fits the front. It's a dual compound which gives good grip but still wears on the edges like the originals did.
I'm guessing that's due to the massive rear tyre and the heavy camber we have on our roads. Next time I might try Metzlers. Cheers from Aussie.
I better start deadlifting/benching to handle such a bike
It’s actually not that bad. With such a low centre of gravity you’d be surprised how easy it is to handle.
@@canadiansa1nt309 It does take some getting used to. I hadn't owned a bike for 30 years when I bought my 2020 Fatboy and those wide tires don't want to turn very well. There were curves on a 65 MPH highway that at first, I'd slow down to 55 or 60 to go through. After I rode the bike a few thousand miles, I'll take those same turns at 100 MPH or better.
Buy a sportster first? And then upgrade in 1-3 months when you realize how slow it is……
If you think a Sportster is slow, especially the ones now, you’re going to be disappointed with a much heavier bike with less horsepower.
Will Harley make any significant changes for 2025?
I think they’ll move the engine up to a 117 in the next year or two. Also, 2025 is the Fatboy’s 35th anniversary so I wouldn’t be surprised to see an special model next year.
Yes. The only change I know of is i will own one I'm hoping
When do people finally get it. USD forks are no better than RSU forks just for being USD. Both can be great forks if well set up and bad crap if not. All that USD forks have is a more solid steering while braking in sportive rides, as of the larger diameter and guides, as well as the typically shorter less bouncy but more firm setups for sport/race riding. A chopper/cruiser want‘s the opposite of what USD forks are made for - a plusher longer travel and not so relevant steering on braking, thus the diameters don‘t need to be that tough wide.
Get the right upgrade spring, insert cartridge and oil to make your fork work better, and stop blabbing about USD forks like a noob or a industry-marketing journalist in influenza incompetence mode.
Wait .. say about again🙃
Started out on Fat Boy! If your weak don’t ride it,lol
I would agree 👍
The tires on Fatboy are trash
I gotta admit I’m not a fan of them either.
Jeez whizz. Not sure I understand why you ever bought a second much less four!
Always liked the Fatboy, regardless of flaws.
I have the 2003 100th anniversary
Nice 👌
It's a sweet ride. I like the weight a little rough. It was my first bike I have no regrets learning on it.
I bought a 2016 new. It looks great but handles poorly.
Sounds about right for a Fatboy. They aren’t the most nimble motorcycle out there.
My 2002 handles fine.
My bike handles worse and i don’t complain. It’s what makes the bike what it is. You got a fatty, others don’t
@@ALEXdaG you are right. The poor handling is built into the design. It’s a looks not performance thing.
"ITERRATIONS"
Not a sportster. U gotta refuel every 90 miles
My 2020 114 Fatboy gets an average of 52 MPG. The factory spec says it has a 3.7 gallon tank, but I've put as much as 3.9 gallons in it. The 'Range' selection shows 272 miles when the tank is topped off.
if ypu move around more the jacket will squirk so we cant hear you 😂😂
I clicked on this thinking it was old school fat boy video… not a fan of the new look… my opinion
You aren’t alone.
The Fatboy died in 2018, this remake is a totally different bike, Wrong, this bike was not in the Terminator movie. I’d by an Indian or a street Glide, The fact that people are still comparing it to the old school styling of the original don’t vote well for this totally different bike that stole the badging, HD should have renamed it a VRod. It reminds me more of that bike though it’s not liquid cooled but it’s the look that don’t pass the sniff test for me.I special ordered my 2012 Fatboy and glad I did not wait much longer . It don’t have the sound either, no lope
I would agree that the older “classic” Fatboy died in 2018. Just my opinion, but this is still a Fatboy to me. And you are correct, this was not the bike used in Terminator 2. That was a ‘91. I’m sure folks familiar with the model know this. I can’t agree about the VRod though. That was a different beast but I understand what you’re getting at.
NO !
No? C’mon now….
Last comment ,, Ninja insurance , 50 bucks a mounth full coverage, 500 deduct,, Fatty 55 bucks a month same coverage, yea Ninja 14 grand bike Fatty 22 grand bike, but Ninja goes,200 mph off the rev limit,, lol, hmm, i was a over the road trucker for 40 years, had perfect driving record, still do ,,never been stopped in 25 years💪🏻 gotta love AZ
No thanks
Oh, c’mon…
No I am not spending 30 grand on a air cooled push rod 2 valve twin that weighs as much as a compact var breks down a lot and handles like the compact car and i still get wet in rain cold in winter and to me is useless I like a bike tht corners fast stops fast and takes off fast. HD is just not my thing I ride for a whole other experince, I do not want to be seen or heard i want to be on deserted back road carving corners at break neck speeds, that is rining to me. Not for everyone just as HD is not for everyone. You like them buy them and enjoy, I will stick with my 400 lb 130 hp 168 mph crotch rocket that handles stops and out runs most super cars to 168. Oh and for 1 5th the cost and in 60k miles has never broken a part or let me down no leaks no oil burn and gets 40mpg at 13,000 rpm. That is my idea of a sunday ride. Stay safe and watch out for deer and oil spots LOL@@canadiansa1nt309
