My dad was obsessed with fat boys. He just passed last month and gave me his most recent bike which is a 2007 Fatboy. White with blue. It's probably the coolest Harley ive ever seen.
I’m 43 years old and just put a down payment on my first motorcycle. It’s a 2002 Fatboy and if all goes well I’ll have her by the end of the week. With all the COVID bs going on it’ll take a couple weeks for an appointment at the RMV to get my permit. I’ve waited this long, what’s another couple weeks. Super excited to hit the road!!!!
Congratulations brother my favorite bike. Close second is the dyna wide glide. Started falling in love with the road glide now. I also love the Yamaha raider. Dont know what bike to be my second yet.
Great words. After a decade on 2 wheels I traded my Harley for a 2 seat sports car, I was done. Then a fat boy rumbled past me and shook my heart back to life and for the past 6 years I’ve been riding.
Same with me bro. Fell in love with Fatboy since 1991 after watching the T2 movie. I was 14 back then. I bought my Fatboy on December 2020, after almost 30 years of waiting.
My wife and I used to cruise around on an 06 Fat Boy. I lost my job and had to go work somewhere making way less, so we decided to sell the bike. Of all the bikes I've owned, that was the one that we had the most fun with as a couple.
@@Spartansrule118 100% Always started immediately, ran perfectly. I had a stage one kit done and it ran like a raped ape. The only complaint I ever had was 5th gear was too low, was always looking for another gear that wasn't there on the highway. They fixed that problem in 07 though : )
I am with you on the Fat Boy Train. I have an 08 with just under 5k miles. bought it at 2800 miles. The red and chrome edition. always love these bikes.
Beautiful motorcycle sir. I had an 06’ with fuel injection, loved that bike. My Fat Boy was black however, although I do like blue. Solid wheels have no impact on how it rides, I’ve had spokes, no difference, trust me. Currently own a 2012 with the 103 however I actually had a little more legroom on the 2006. Best of luck!
Bought a brand new Fat Boy in 91 after returning from the Gulf War and saving 90% of my pay for the 9 months I spent there. I never thought I would get rid of it but I happened to see a beautiful 92 FXR that had been completely gone through and fell in love with it immediately. The Fat Boy was a comfortable cruiser but my FXR is a full tilt boogie type of Harley. It's now supercharged, very quick and handles better than any Harley I have ever owned. I just wish it was a bit more comfortable on a long ride. Definitely fun in a canyon carving up a highway though
Dragging pegs, little nick in the fender....if it ain't getting scrapes it ain't getting ridden....it ain't a jewel it's a bike! Ride the wheels off of it!
Got a black (don't care, I like black ;) ) 2016 Fatboy. I've put 34k on the clock, and I love the shit out of it. The addition of the electric throttle (and accompanying electronic cruise control) makes it cleaner, smoother, and more convenient.
Amen brother!.... I own a 2013 fatboy lo and I absolutely love it!... It is black tho, Im gonna have it painted soon as my painter brother is freed up...but it's a beast of a bike and I'll never part with it!..God bless guys... Love what you all are doing!
I fell in love with the Harley Davidson bikes when I was in the 1st grade, my grandma was driving me home from school and I we were stopped at a red-light and a brand new Harley Davidson on a truck pulled up next to us and I just remember having my face pushed against the glass in awe of the bike lol
That’s a nice bike , it never ceases to amaze me just how many HD garage queens are out there , and by the way my 2 HD are wiped clean with detail spray when I get home they simply cost to much not to take care of
I have a 21 street glide special in black. I had a Softail slim for my second bike, I traded that in for a 22 fatboy a week ago. I love just looking at that bike let alone riding it. Feels great, looks great, love it.
Just sold both my twin cams and bought a 98 Fatboy 28767 original miles from original own. I am a happy camper. My wife hates the buddy seat on my 72 FLH so we have another bike she can ride on in comfort. Thirty years ago she didn't mind the 72,s seat.
I recently bought a 2000 fat boy and I love it. 28,000 miles white paint all stock except v&h exhaust and 14" apes very clean my favorite bike I've owned.
The Fat Boy is my favorite Harley... simply because of T2. I was just out of high school and not really into bikes, then I saw Arnold ride that Fat Boy... I became a man!!!
I've got a crazy clean 2002 fatboy that is electric blue. It's got a few more miles than this one, but, it's just as clean and I came off of a 2020 fat bob. This fat boy rides just as good if not better. Clutch feels amazing brakes feel good, throttle is butter smooth. My first fat boy and I love it.
I have had many bikes all Harley. Never had a Fat Boy. Would love one someday. Love my Road Glide Custom and my West Coast Chopper CFL. I do want to add a Softail and want another Nightrain. Great vid!
I bought mine in 1997 new. Other than a bunch of those Harley dealer bolt on's, its stock. Well at least in appearance. I won't list the engine/transmission modes. As it has been since the late 90s, it is a beast of a machine. I love it. It is red/silver. I looked all over the West Coast for one and had to fly to LA to buy it as no one back then had any. I used it to qualify for the Iron Butt Association
My neighbor has a softail fatboy. She has bike 41 or 81 out of 200 special paint jobs. Not a spec of any anything on it. Cleanest bike I've seen in a long time.
I bought an 88 cube Fatboy in 1993 & a 2nd 103 cube Fatboy in 2012 ,I gave the 93 Evo to my Godson last year & he loves the heck out of it ,both my sons have twin cam Road Kings and Fatboys from me
That's funny you say that! My dad actually gave me a 2003 fat boy for my 26th birthday! She has just under 7,000 miles! All chromed out! Like literally just about everything you can get chromed has been done to it such a nice bike
"How often do people say I have a blue Fatboy" Well I have a blue 2008 fatboy. Love it. Been thinking of a streetglide, but I don't think I could part with my fatboy.
I've watched alot of your videos. I love the bits of the Word at the beginning. You're a cool cat. You actually helped me purchase my first 2 harleys you just don't know it lol. Thank you and God bless brother
That's a clean fatboy i found one 2 years ago in Arizona original owner it only had 400 miles i was SHOCKED it's as clean as yours it's a 2003 anniversary black with the gold leaf trim the guy who owned it had a brand-new anniversary cover still in the box 2 Anniversary helmets and anniversary jacket and vest all like new i got it all for 7500 bucks of course I put new tires on because of the age and a 2 into 1 Vance and Hines pro-pipe and 12 inch apes love it always a head Turner
I love the old style solid wheels on fat boys. I have seen them with 6 spoke wheels out of the MoCo catalogue and they look good. Fat boys look good with the long shot pipes as well.
Fat boys are the baddest bike ever!! I ride a 01 Fatboy that’s totally tricked out and never had an ounce of trouble and this bike turned more heads in Sturgis than $50k baggers. I wouldn’t ride any other Harley but a Fatboy!!! Epic in every way and I ride it like a superbike in the turns and a dragbike from light to light!! And yes the solid wheels ride just fine even in windstorms!!! Keep up your great videos!
My grand father just gave me this exact same bike but an 06 the seat is the only thing different that’s crazy looks just as good been garage kept by him since 06 like brand new!!
I just sold mine... I'm gonna miss it for sure.. can't have a collection, so I'm keeping two or three bikes at a time and keep it flowing. But this bike is the most problem free Harley I've owned yet. 2004 is a great year! This is a big boy's bike on a Sportster budget! Great video!!! 🤘🏻😎⚡️
That handlebar is a 10-inch right? You didn't have to lengthen the cables. I like the stock handlebar but often find it uncomfortable, I would like to change it but the APEs on the Fatboy I don't like. I like yours
36,600kms - 22,692mi Runs great and the person that owned before took really good care of it. Looking to change the stock seat a little hard on the butt. lol
:-) I have got a blue 93 Fatboy with under 8000 miles in almost new condition. I bought it for almost nothing and I wanted a project bike. In the end I just could not modify it as I fell in love with it as it was...
Sean, I got nothing but respect for you, but it's a fact that the front rim can affect the ride. We've got bridges down here that have cross winds that will push that bike right into the next lane. You love the solid front rims... that's great for you. But I myself, like many others don't. That's for the rider to decide. All that being said, I wouldn't let the front wheel scare me from buying the bike, but it would definitely be changed if I did. I don't need to grow up to know what I like and what I don't when it comes to riding. As a rider, the biggest selling point of a motorcycle for me is the ride. And anything that affects the ride of a bike needs to be considered. And the wheels of a motorcycle are a big part of that. All this said, that's just my opinion and my thoughts on the subject. Like I said, I think you're a great guy, and I love the test rides you do.
at 3:40 he stated "1st time bags been drugged, I'll try not to do it again". During my Motorcycle safety course on my Fatboy which i lowered, i knew my Bike floor boards scraped during sharp turns, I let it scrap, the floor boards fold/pivot. knowing your bike is Key to riding through obstacles, in the Safety coarse many rides straighten there bikes when they heard the scrapping noise & failed to hold the course & had to circle back again. knowing your bike stopping power is also Key, for myself i Know the rear tire is going to slide so i'm prepared knowing to keep the front wheel on coarse, " Not Losing Control" OK Every rider, Safe Thump Up.
That is the kind of guy I am. My softail is for sale. Can no longer ride I have aritis in my back. My softail is show room but better all motor issues were taken care of. It has a brand new motor under it. Always polished and garage kept. Only 6k on new motor. Big bore,new cams, rods ,lifters,rockers,chain guides are hydraulic, on and on. This is a bike you would want to buy.
This is EXACTLY the bike of my dreams. It has all the features that I am looking for. My wife love it. We just sold a house, and will be closed on the 10th of June. SRK is the shop that we will buy our dream bike from. We will see be SEEING YOU SOON. God Bless You All. Now SEAN, you know what kind of FATBOY WE WANT!
After 59 cars and motorcycles Ducati Ferrari etc etc I get bored quickly, the Fat boy is the only thing I won’t ever sell, I’ve had it 21 years, it’s such a lovely thing to ride it makes me feel free.
I owned a '95 Fatboy. It was a great bike but I don't like any softail for two up riding. In reality they have about two and a half inches of rear suspension travel. Stock Fatboys like in this video are awesome. When people start adding bags, windshield etc. they quickly lose their charm.
I have the same bike in sierra red, '04 FLSTF (non-injected). My wife can't figure out why I don't trade it in for something bigger. My friends can't figure out why I don't trade it in on something more powerful. My neighbors can't figure out why I don't trade it in on something quieter. Sounds like you have it figured out though.
Thanks so much, love your Fat Boy videos! I'm getting a 2012 in 2 days. Never had a Harley, and haven't had a bike for over 30 years. I've been riding other bikes, so I feel I'm ready. What camera and microphone set up do you use? Keep the videos comin'!
Getting ready to possibly buy a 2014 flstfb103 next weekend. My concern is this. Im buying used from hd dealer, they will have to ship it up here to where i live so wont actually be able to check it out until after i pay for it?? Hopefully not, but this first real bike ive bought and 1st from a dealer so idk how they handle that. My concern is this, the bike has 39k miles on it? What is high milage for a fatboy? I assume the larger engine would last longer, you arent putting a lot of stress on it as its pretty overkill?
Is that bike lowered possibly? That roundabout has no camber of any sort. I know the Softail Slim is scrape city but pegs would be advised on this bike.
Amen! Just found a 05 fatboy 20k miles and i offered 3k for it, he accepted so if all goes well tomorrow I’m going to pick it up for my first bike😅 I tried to message you about helping me out a few times.
@@andrewsavage1872 this is why the Bible says show not your alms before men. But do them in private and the Father that sees will reward you in private. This man loves to show his good deeds but when another Christian came to him and asked for a dirt cheap deal he scoffed at me and shamed me.
Thanks so much for your videos! Just bought my FIRST EVER motorcycle...a brand new 2018 Fat Boy! The crazy thing is, I haven't driven a motorcycle in 30 years when I was riding dirt bikes and 3 wheelers as a kid! Owning a motorcycle was on the bucket list for YEARS, but a Fat Boy was a dream! Checking the motorcycle off the list and made my dream a reality! I wanted a 'lifetime' bike and I got it with the Fat Boy aka 'The Boss.' How can anyone go wrong with a Fat Boy? All the men said, "You can't ride that!" I said, "Wanna bet?!?" She fits me perfectly (I'm 5'9") and I have no problem holding the 700 pound beauty up! She'll be in my garage for a very long time!! Thanks for all the videos! I'm looking for a new seat if you (or anyone else who is reading this) have any recommendations!
You can't go wrong with a blue bike. My friend said I wont buy a bike unless it's blue. I said you're wrong. The last one was green. I had it painted blue. I have a blue Heritage and a matching blue Sportster but my Fatboy is black...for now. That is a beautiful Fatboy.
Hi I'm just watch your video and it's great, thanks..one question l don't have much experience on motorcycle but l ride a 900 cc Vulcan. ??Would be much difficult riding a 2007 fat boy that l want to buy? ,I'm concerned about weight,I'm 5'8?
