Harley Davidson Fat Bob 117 Stage 3 Review 

Just bought a 2018 with a stage 1 and nice pipes. My first Harley after 35 years of sports bikes.

I feel like fat bob is the next step for all the motovlogger's currently pushing the lowrider, just seems to be picking up traction everywhere and I love it.

Just bought one. First Harley after 32 years of sport bikes and Enduro/Maxi Trails. Absolutely awesome bike.

Glad you're back! The comments were disabled and I got this on notification and wanted to say happy to see you back.

Excited to see you back! Thanks for the video, I always enjoy them immensely. It's just exhilarating to see a fun bike and beautiful scenery. The Fat Bob may be my favorite Harley, or at least among them.

Nice to have you back, thanks for another awesome video!

Welcome back. Great review. I have a 2018 Fat Bob myself. Done about 6000 miles on it already. Great bike. Might now consider the Stage 3 enhancement having seen your vlog. All the best...

Nice to hear a fellow Welsh man again. Welcome back.

Welcome back M8 , great review keepim coming .

Good to hear from you again, and on a cracking bike too!

I gotta say I missed you man! Glad your back. What a bike! If this bike was priced at 15k it would be a a no brainer

Welcome back Mark

Best handling bike that Harley has ever made!

this is the most beautiful motorcycle on the road. i've been looking a whole lot and i keep coming back to this, its just so damn expensive though

Welcome back!

I'm looking at hopefully getting on a bike again next year after nearly 7 years of not having one. I was trying to decide between a used FXDR and the Fat Bob. The FB is slowly winning me over. I want to do the 117 Stage III kit as well and put a black Screamin' Eagle high-flow exhaust system on it. Awesome review!

The best Harley - hands down.

Good video to start out the new year

Loved my Fat Bob put 12,000 on it with no issues but being that it are only transportation we needed to make a change. Going stage 2 but may have to go to 3 now😁 Really love are Sport Glide as well! Great review!.......Ride hard or stay home😎

Great video thanks dude! Mic sounded really nice👍🍺

Great review, beatiful bike 👍

Welcome back. what a great start the Fat bob. i have the 2019 114 version. i have had a stage 1 put on it and i have changed the position of the number plate. i have added an engine guard and detachable sissy bar. also heated grips and cruise control. the bike is awesome. i have taken it out in the winter, but can't wait for spring to be here and we can go for descent rides out.

I did the stage 3 for my street glide special! 498 cam! Great power!!!love the mid range!!!

Yea man, welcome back. Looking forward for my first ride of 2020!

Blockhead’s video on the 131 crate engine is mind blowing

Hi Mark, i follow your vlogs for abt 3 yrs. From the 883 to the customization of the 48 and so on. The Quality of your vlogs are great! From my perspective one of the best. The sound, the riding experience, the surroundings, all included very good! When you ever look or have time for annother bike, i can recomend you the R nineT Pure and a customisation project would be nice. Anyway succes with new series and thanks fo the enjoyable vlogs!

Nice to see you back on 🇬🇧🍺 Any custom series planed ❓

Imagine this one with the new 131ci kit...throat ripper 🤘🏽

Nice vid. Stage 3 with stock Dunlops on a wet road is a particularly bad idea :)

Great review and bike. Just got my Fat Bob and will do similar mods but how do you setup the flipped mirrors not hitting the tank at full steering. Some say they adjust the handle bar a bit but looks like you have it in stock position?

Bad points. Rear brake is crap, needs new foot pedal and re-positioning. Rear shock keeps bottoming out on the supposed "correct setting" keep turning it up. (too many pies). Number plate and light need re-positioning. Needs locking gas cap. Gearbox really clunky. Needs a nose fairing. Nowhere to even put your wallet or a packet of smokes. Stock exhaust is gold.....I mean really? WTF? Upgrades are horrendously expensive. Good points. It's fucking awesome.

Always an enjoyable vlog to watch👍 where did you get your gloves from? I want a pair!!

Ohh yeahhhhh nice review!!!!!!

I love this bike. I'd have to rebuild the back end with more mud guard & fit a sissy bar.

wonderfull journey! thanks

What is the redline (rev limiter) for this stage 3?

I like those turn indicators. Those are boss.

I agree with everyone here. My 2020 Fat bob is amazing. It's a 114 Stage II with a screaming eagle ventilator air cleaner and a Two Brother Racing 2 into 1 pipe. Trask performance kit for the transmission and oil pump. S&S 475 Cam. Bike is ready for stage IV if I want to do it. Not sure I really need to. I can already almost not shift fast enough as it is. I've added many comedic touches all over the bike. Saddleman seat and a taller sissy bar are easy to see. Also added 2.5 inch risers but left the stock handlebar. Swung the mirrors underneath but right mirror isn't very useful. To many other little touches to put here with out another paragraph. Bike is a head turner wherever I go.

It's a bike I really like to ride. And the 117 is a useful upgrade. When are you going to ride the 2020 Triumph Rocket 3? I think you'll really like it!

Hey great review and great bike.. BUT .. with a 13 litre tank, what is the range like ??? Here in Australia we ride long distances.. I'm thinking I'd need to carry extra fuel for sure..

this is my dream bike

What language is that?? LOL! Love from your American brothers!!! Wish I could ride with you bro! That bike is straight badass! Love the pipes! Ride hard amigo!

Missed you man Great two have you back in the seat

The stage 3 117 is cool and all, but have you seen the new 131 from Screaming eagle ? You might want to review one ASAP!

I love your review dude but I asked you some time...the brand of your gloves. Looks nice...I'm trying to find some like that. Greetings from Spain

Great review 👍 love this bike want one but money to save to get one will take a while.but it will be my last bike .

The bars need a bit more pull back about 3 degrees more like the drag bars were on the 1980 FXB Sturgis lowrider

Best Harley man! Ride one and you'll see..

Came to my recommendations after 1 yr.. I've watched this episode before....so here we go again

What is the spelling for them adjustable brake and clutch levers? I need some can’t find them

Just bought one ☺️

i like how my boy rubs his hands together before hitting the throttle lol

Is it the 2020? I know they changed the ergos a bit..

Any chance for a link of the front blinkers and rear break/blinker combo? Also great job

That white Volvo 245 looks mega good

S&S sounds awesome

where can I get those signal lights ?

Which levers are those?

The tyres look off road?

what are your gloves?

It is an awesome bike, I love mine.

god damn this is a good looking bike. im waitin for the harley street fighter

I suppose we don't have this version here in Brazil. Just 107 and 114.

Needs a nice denim white and a nice black 2-1

Yea dude you can go through the gears like a crotch rocket no problem ...if you what a high speed better ride check out all the GP Suspension set ups ....dont be surprised about the brakes, harley has been using Brembo brakes since 2006 , wake up !

00:00 music?

Ok. I need to know if you had to pick only 1.... this or the fxdr you rode?

I bought a 018 Fat Bob 117stage 3 and it was wicked loved the bike, I was going to stick the stage 4 kit on which I bought and leave the torque cam in but ended up buying a Rocket 3r instead. But have the stage 4 kit for sale if any ones intrested let me know £800

Man what happened with you why no more reviews!

Is that head light from bender the drunken robot on Future Rama ? OMFG it's "Bender" and he's bending !

Is it just or does everyone agree. They lost interest when they designed the back end on all the Fatbob’s. Last one had a TV set for a back light

Does a 3 cubic Inch Upgrade Really make a difference ?

Great job Harley Davidson. Now all you need to do to sell them is get the $ down...

If I had 25 grand to drop I would buy one

Stage2 with aftermarket cam can give better results for much less £s👍

Stage 3 would be a 122, not 117

Bike sounds horrible compared to V&H straight pipes, let's face it. Absolutely awesome bike otherwise. Thanks for the video.

Sorry, got to say it, looks like Shit in all black out. The all blacked out look reminds me of a Revel model kit. It makes the bike look fake.

How can it be STAGE 3 if you have default manufacture piped?? 👎 FAKE

Being American and have owned 2 harleys what I really like about them is nothing. Buy a sportbike or superbike and if you want comfort put handlebars on it.
