2022 Harley Davidson Fat Bob (FXFBS) | FULL review 

Yeah I’ve liked this bike for a long time!

Love the headlight!👍👍

EXACTLY what I'd want to do to one. There are some similar setups on Instagram and they look gooood.

Me and my mate had the same issue with our fb. I'm contemplating replacing it with a handlebar mounted one.

It’s a great package for sure. Appreciate the support.

Thanks for watching.

the headlight is SUPER BRIGHT! People love the exhaust a real attention getter. We changed the slipons

Yeah I agree. I'm not sure where the inspiration for the exhaust came from but I think the majority of people aren't fans of it.

Great feedback! I'd say have her do a stage 1 and open it up. Will definitely help it off the line.

I definitely appreciate a simple logo. Like you mentioned the EGS, that one is pretty perfect to me. I also like the bar and shield outline they do on the pan am. It's a huge logo but still well done. I am definitely interested in doing a review of the stages. Ideally i'd do them all on the same kind of bike. Obviously from a cost standpoint that wouldn't make much sense. Also having the dealership do them all could be possible but they would probably only do one at a time. I guess I could just talk about what goes into each one, cost, reliability, difficulty, etc. I love big power bikes but after opening the whole day on a 122 Lowrider S I'm pretty sure I'd do that over the 131 although i've only ridden the 131 in a FLTRXS.

@@throttleblip9854 ya just going over the different stages in detail would be an awesome video. Cost, what to expect in performance, what you personally think about them etc. I would like to hear your opinion on it. I personally am just going to stick with the stage 2 on the street bob. I don't think it's going to need more than that for such a light bike. Also with all the add ons and mods I've done so far i dont think my bank account can take much more abuse 😆. Ive added the saddleman step up seat, memphis shades windshield, Edward Richie sissy bar and stage 2 SE torque cam kit so far. I plan on adding some trim items as well such as axel nut covers, coil cover, and oil cooler cover this spring. Maybe if the wife doesn't notice some mustache engine guards 🤔😆. After all that I'm tapping out for now. Again great videos I've shared several with friends that ride Harleys as well so hopefully they subscribed 👍

Hi, I thinking of buying one of these as my first bike your comment caught my eye as your the only one I have spotted who has a comment coming from the U.K. area. Any recommendations, modifications ?? Cheers. Atb.

@@JaySingh-ex6xc the bike is absolutely fine as standard but remember it is a heavy bike at 306kg. Very comfortable with lots of torque so just go easy with the throttle until you get more confidence with the bike👍

@@robertprosser6856 Cheers Robert for the reply one other thing do you have any issues with the read out misting up with condensation ? Thank you.👍

@@JaySingh-ex6xc too early to say I've only owned to bike one month and because of the weather it's not come out if the garage yet.

@@robertprosser6856 Ok, enjoy ride safe atb. Jay👍

Thank you. In regards to the 117 in the S, I think Harley had to do that. Or needed to anyway. Because when they cancelled the regular Lowrider, what made the S an S. The Fat Bob has everything the S does so to me it wasn't an S. I wonder why we didn't get the gray option. That color looks so good in person.

@@throttleblip9854 Yeah, I don't understand why you don't seem to be getting that colour... maybe it's a site design mistake. To be frank, I also don't get why EU gets Sport Glides and Breakouts and you don't 👀. Hope the 26th reveal has more fresh stuff as so far it's a bit underwhelming, especially with the surcharges all over the place.

Appreciate the kind words. When I did the VS video of the fat bob vs the lowrider all anyone mentioned was the bigger gas tank on the lowrider S. I didn’t know so many guys were doing long distance on either of these haha

@@throttleblip9854 of course! Love the channel! I totally agree with you! Most people again I say most, don’t necessarily get a softail for touring type riding.

I do need to do that. If Timms has one I'll try and do it Monday and get the video up next week!

@@throttleblip9854 Your reviews are sublime, love it. Ride safe.

Yeah I don't understand their choice of exhaust on this bike either. I like that it's upswept but I don't like the dual mufflers. 2into1 for me. I see a lot of t bars and small fairings being put on these which I'm a fan of.

The moment you start putting more "traditional" things on a Fat Bob, it... stops being a Fat Bob. I'm buying one partly because it's different than every other Harley.

I'd do the same. I wish that ST fairing would work on it.

Ohhhh never thought about it. I bet you're right. You'd ned to run a different exhaust probably a 2 into 1.

It doesn't but it should. Fat Bob always has forwards from the factory. They can be changed but you're gonna have to pay to do it.

You have to have a test ride them pegs are not that far forward I had forward pegs on my sportster and hated them but on my Fat Bob they are not that bad and I find them comfortable I'm 5"6 And seen way sorter people ride them and say they are fine 🤓👍

Just the color on this one!

@@throttleblip9854 Thanks

Hard to beat.

I didn’t notice that but it’s odd bc so many other models have that or got it this year. Good catch.

On Touring frame bikes the angled valve stems are indicative of RDRS and its tire pressure monitoring system along with the left side "TC" switch. Non RDRS bikes have the straight valve stems. Not sure about Softails though at some point I'd expect some form of RDRS to migrate to the Softail family.

Correct. Yeah I wasn't either. I'm not sure what they could have done to it. a 117 would have been cool but not needed especially if it drove the price up.

New wheels, too. Nobody really noticing them, but they are different compared to the '18-'21 style.

This is where I'm at. Looks great but for $5K less you can get a much faster, more modern bike that's even still a Harley-Davidson, by getting the Sportster S.

@@tinman3586 yeah, Harley really is pricing themselves out

Totally agree! Indian chief dark horse bobber gives you everything for less money

@@christhepatriot4621 I think the bobber dark horse is going for around the same price, I'd go with the chief dark horse. It's the same bike but with a better tank decal, mid controls, and normal bars for like 16-17k

Interesting. I just don't think with that wide front end a circle would work. I don't know if you remember the older versions that had the dual circle headlight but did you like that one better? I hated that one lol.

Harley does make a mid control kit. Like everything Harley it is pricey.

@@carlbruhn1772 About $750 US?

I liked last years better but I don't hate this one.

Mine too, it's very easy to do, you would think he would know that.

Yep me too. My biggest problem is only getting just over 250km from full

Yes, shows up once the gear is fully engaged

Yes you can switch to mid controls!

Think I covered that at the beginning but they start at MSRP of 19,200. definitely call your dealer though because prices are all over the place right now.
