@@FreedomRider1982 yeah tightening those bolts won't do anything. If you watch the video back, you can see the portion of the rotor that moves when you do that.
Yeah i bought one last January. I downsized from a bagger. Great bike more power then I expected. More nimble and pulls like a train. Notice i said downsized not down graded... M8 is the best platform thus far!
I own this identical bike, a 2022 in vivid black and it's been sitting unridden for over two months because the weather here in Seattle is absolutely HORRIBLE. I am so sick of Seattle and so looking forward to the spring. I miss riding but I detest riding in the rain. Thanks for the video, you live in paradise and I live in hell. Question, I was hoping you could ask the owner if he is also finding it painful to ride over an hour on this seat? I rode mine for over an hour and found the seat to be quite uncomfortable, maybe it's just me so I wanted to know if this rider is experiencing the same pain? Thanks for the video, great job!
Such a beautiful bike, for sure. Thank-you for watching and commenting my great friend. He said he hasn't been uncomfortable at all on longer rides. Happy New Year, my great friend and keep the faith up there 👍💯
Great bike. Own one myself, purchased it new in 2019 in red. Fantastic looking, even the best looking bike I have ever owned. I have 10000 mls on it. It is strictly a good weather bike. For daily riding I own a 2001 Honda CBR1100XX. About the front rotor. Are you sure about loose bolts? it is a floating disc, so I think the outer part could move (that is what I see when wiggle the disc). I don't see any movement of the inner ring. I have the clicking noise sometimes but that doesn't bother me.
I have the 2018 Version of this bike in Resurgence paint, which they only made 150 of. Mines number 20. Best bike HD ever made IMO. I love mine and I'll never sell it.
Thank-you for watching and commenting. I'm going to hit up your channel in a minute. From what I saw of it really quickly, your bike looks GORGEOUS .....
Great video. I have the same 2022 model and colour. I’ve added a few extra Empire collection chrome additions. First service booked for the New Year, when I’ll add a set of V&H slip-ons. Still undecided on Eliminator 300s or the Twin Slash pipes. Good luck and ride safe my friend.
You have a bada$$ bike love the vance & hines on that bad boy test rode a 2021 fatboy stage 1 loved it right now got a 2003 sportster but next year I'm stepin up getting a 23 or 23 beauitful bike good video
Good Day Sir I just purchased a 2022 Fatboy yesterday in Reef Blue with 97 miles on it first thing that upgrading is the exhaust I drove 3& half hours 2 get her got a 5 year warranty on the bike
Hi Today I test rode a 2018 fatboy with 5700 miles. Im New to Harleys, is it normal with the Vibration even at high speed? No wobbling nothing like that.
If you feel what you experienced was excessive, have the dealership check it out so you are sure nothing is wrong with that particular bike you test rode. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hey i have 2021 fatboy and i went to dealership for service and i explain about clunk noise on breakes and they said is normal but they are wrong and they can't solve the problem. Incredible. But true. Harley davidson big mistake for the name.
Could never understand why someone who knows nothing about mechanics feels the need to "tighten things down" 🤣 the bolts he wants to tighten are not where the movement is the movement is coming from the rivots on the floating roosters that are specifically designed to FLOAT AND MOVE.
I find stock Fatboy's to be upright to slightly forward. They can be modified of course to suit your preference. Thanks for watching and commenting and have a great weekend !
Thank you very much! As I believe the upright riding position does not give you tail bone pain. I had a Yamaha Raider and on long trips my damn tail bone hurt due to the riding position was kinda laid back some. I had a BMW GS1200 Adventure and a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 and it had an upright riding position to where I never had tail bone pain ever again! So since the H-D Fat-Boy is in fact having an “up-right” riding position I’m finally found the bike I’m looking for. For style, and comfort!
@@drew3354 Always test drive a motorcycle first before you consider it as a possibility. Everybody is different and what is good for one may not be for another.
How reliable is this engine? for the price definitely we should expect a great quality bullet proof thing haha! Don't get me wrong, just want a reliable machine that gives you the confidence to ride it forever without an issue Great video
@@FreedomRider1982 thanks for your answer, you helped me a lot! this bike was in doubt to me, but now... definitely will go for her! great quality video, priceless work! thanks for your time keep riding safe
@@MirdenLayra Your welcome ! Yes proper maintainance as suggested by your dealership at the correct time intervals will help insure that the bike runs well. There is always the possibility of some "odd ball" thing happening but, that is the case with anything mechanical. Harley Davidson provides customers with a two year factory warranty to help with those situations. If you are concerned about the time beyond the 2 years you can purchase an extended warranty also for more money.
@FreedomRider1982 I didn't know anything like that, thanks for sharing this info with me Like you said before, yeah, with proper maintainance the engine will work just fine, but just wanted to be sure that it's an excellent machine beyond that, some motorcycles are crap even with all the help we can get on haha! In other chapter, can I ask if you know if this engine works only air-cooled? Or has another kind of cooler thing? Saying this from my ignorance: but what happend when this air cooled engines are in a very very hot weather or things like that? It doesn't go more than burning your legs and that's it? Or it can get damaged real hard the engine? Really don't know about this 2 kind of engines (air and oil and liquid blabla), too many positive as negative comments of both and don't know what just to think. Hope you can help me with my doubt! I will really appreciate it a lot Also sorry if my English is bad brother, it isn't my native language Thank you for answering!! Thank you so much, not many ppl like you nowadays, you are the first one that took the time to reply, I'm grateful, you are helping me a lot
@@FreedomRider1982 Still it looks gorgeous. Fell in love with since I saw T2. Unfortunately its way too expensive in India. Thats why I ride a royal enfield
Now that everyone has watched this video, let me tell you the truth about this bike (2021); Every turn is a wrestling match. I've never been on a bike as difficult to steer! I've a many issues which required the dealer to repair. Never had a bike with so many problems. But then, I never owned a Harley Davidson before. Replaced/ repaired; front wheel, oil pressure control switch, clutch lever, fork bearings, fuel management device. Doesn't (and never will) have that Harley " sound". I spent a lot of money to make it look cool, and I think it now does.
