Hey Hey youtube world. Here's an honest review about my 2020 Harley Davidson fatboy. Has the Stage 4 kit, vance and hines Big shot exhaust and few accessories. I did forget to mention one bad point. The brakes..specifically the ABS feature. It's pretty bad. Feels like you're sliding on grease when it engages. Doesn't pulsate, it just stops applying the brakes. Also, it engages while braking going over small bumps in the road. I'm looking to have it be disengaged and if that's not possible, going to bypass it. It's that bad.
Aside from that, funnest bike I've ever ridden.

I agree with you totally, this bike is awesome. It’s the best bike Harley have ever made. I had a 2012 Fatboy which I loved. But my new Fatty is just streets ahead. Mine has the stage 1with V&H Short Shots and it sounds awesome with all the grunt I want. It just gives me that rockstar feeling every time I ride it, with a feel good factor that’s simply off the scale

@patrickgagne8795 Год назад

Must sound epic with the short shots. Glad you're digging your bike brother. It's all about getting out there and feeling free.

I just bought a 2018 fatboy today and I should of bought it 4 yrs ago. Great video Patrick

just bought 2020 Fatboy 30 year anniversary, all blacked out! doing bigshots as well as stage 4 kit. I was deciding on the new cvo that just came out as well , that street glide you had was pretty sic bike too! good luck with Fatboy!

frank Ciminiello gotcha. You would have to get the stage 4 within 60 days of purchase for it to go under your warranty. If you can only get the 117” like I have, you won’t be disappointed. Mine goes in this week for drag bars. Love my fat boy. You’ll love youra

When I was a first time rider everyone told me to get a 48 which I really liked the look of everyone told me that it was the best first bike to get well 5 year later I got the Fatboy I felt that the 48 was more unstable and unforgiving than the Fatboy, but I’m glade a waited to get the 2018 Fatboy better look better ride and when I say better ride I mean the 48 was more difficult

Hey Patrick, hi from Australia,great review of this one and your reason for selling the 2019 SGS which has made my current decision all the better. I had a 2018 custom Fatboy M8 and sold it for a 2020 SGS and spent everything on it like your old one and it’s just not working for me either so this week I’m going back to my Harley Dealer mate for another 2020 Fatboy which I’ll do up again but stage 2 only, you just can’t bet them there an awesome bike!

@patrickgagne8795 3 года назад

They’re great bikes. I tried to love my sgs but it wasn’t happening. I won’t lie, I bought a 2008 vrod about 2 months ago and it’s the best harley I’ve ever owned. I spend the same $$ buying it as I just doing engine upgrades on my m8s and the vrod would leave those bike’s sick in the dust

@harleydave2316 2 года назад

I know it's an older video but my story is very similar to yours. I had a 2019 Road King Special and dumped soo much money into it trying to get the ride and sound profile I wanted and just couldn't do it. I ended up trading it for a 2015 Breakout and recently put a 110 kit and other goodies in it. I love that bike so much and I became friends with the person who ended up buying the RKS, who was one of my channel followers and saw I was selling it through a video I made. He lives in the next state over but hopefully we can get together this summer and ride some together.

@patrickgagne8795 2 года назад

Nice. That’s awesome. Don’t laugh at me but I ended find the perfect Harley for me. Found a slightly modded 2009 vrod and I absolutely love it. What a kick in the balls. Bought the bike for half the $$ that I put in mods on my Sgs. Lesson learned. Enjoy your day

@patrickgagne8795 4 года назад

pete jones Hey Pete, that’s awesome. If you’re the type to switch your bike up every couple of years, then I suggest not doing the stage 4. Drops the value of the bike. Crazy isn’t it. I test rode a bmw k1600b and traded my fat boy immediately. For me, I’m done with harleys for a while. However, I did love the fat boy but the bmw is a whole other level

@BODYBUILDER375 4 года назад

These are one of my favorite pipes. Deep and meaty from idle to redline. Had these on my 2016 Fat Bob, but not sure if I want to put them on my new Low Rider S now that I live in CA permanently. I had them on the Fat Bob while living in San Fran for about 2 yrs and never had any issues (despite setting off car alarms in the city). No baffles! Have you run into issues with cops pulling you over lately?

@patrickgagne8795 4 года назад

filet lmao ya these set off alarms for sure. No other issue to date. Been cruising up and down PCH since since covid gig started (and there’s a sh!t ton of cops) and no issues. In all fairness though, they more concerned about people on the beach then loud pipes lol

@patrickgagne8795 4 года назад

Giovanni Yap Hey there, sorry for the late reply. I found that the BO looked and felt like an average softail while the FB had more character with the meaty front end. One thing to mention is that the brakes are terrible on either bike and I got speed woobles driving over 85 mph. Just a heads up, I got rid of the FB and got a BMW k1600b. I’m officially done with HD. I’ll have a video coming out next week about that.

I have the 2017 BreakOut. Had the 2020 Fatboy and the 2016 StreetGlide. The Breakout has the 130mm front tire like the Fatboy. No floorboards, has 21" wheels and a 37° rake. BreakOut is my choice. Problem is, you get many people wanting you to talk about it. Last yr twinkie. Sounds more like a Harley than the M8s.

You're saying the guy you sold your bike to, ' the motor actually blew up due to" what? I went over that part of the video a few times and can't hear what you're saying.

@patrickgagne8795 4 года назад

Cam bolt. The way the cam bolt is threaded creates a weak point and the top of the bolt cracks off under pressure. More common with baggers due to the cases being a bit different. This is what I was told by the service manager at my dealership.

Patrick Gagne ok good to know because i live in Anaheim and none of the hd dealers around here will install them

How much did it run you to do the stage 4 on this bad boy

@patrickgagne8795 3 года назад

Was pricey. Almost $5000 out the door. Honestly, unless you plan to keep the bike a long time, it’s not worth it. I traded the bike in and was considered less valuable then a stock one. Even though it falls under the main warranty...???? Crazy.

@lethalinjection.zo6312 3 года назад

@@patrickgagne8795 wow! Good to know. I plan on keeping the fat boy since it’s my first (bike) but I’ll just end up doing a big radius and swapping the air filter to a Arlon ness heavy breather and apes to call it a day. Just love the sound of the stage 4 but I guess swapping the heads will just be fine as well

@lethalinjection.zo6312 3 года назад

@@patrickgagne8795 I wonder why even under warranty for a complete stage 4 it didn’t hold trade value. How many miles was it when you decided to part ways with it? That’s crazy. I bet they sold it for a lot more than what you got. I seen a 2012 fat boy in my area with 12k miles selling for $12,500.. might as well just buy a new one.. Harley is just hurting for a sale and money

@patrickgagne8795 3 года назад

@@lethalinjection.zo6312 ended up trading it for a 2019 BMW k1600b grand America. They listed it for 19k and it sat for about a month. Ended selling for 18k.

@@patrickgagne8795 do you remember how much miles was on the bike prior to trading it in?

Hey Patrick, Nice FB! I have a 2020 RGS that feels like a pig and was thinking of trading it in for the 30th fatboy all blacked out. Sounds like I wouldn’t be disappointed as you came from a similar situation. I’m up in SF area and we don’t have the 131 kit available either otherwise I would slap that bad boy in out of the gate. Did you get a deal on your Fattie in souther California? Would love to see more on your FB

@patrickgagne8795 4 года назад

Steve Gutierrez Hey Steve, good buying time. Sales at harley are pretty brutal but you might take a big cut on the trade in. I love my FB. Was worth taking a hit from my 2019 sgs. Such an awesome bike. Might be worth tripping into Oregon to buy one and get the 131 kit. The 117 is stellar but...131...oh boy. One thing though, FB seem to fit people shorter then 6’.

@steveg56 4 года назад

Patrick Gagne Yeah I’m only 5’ 8 myself. I would keep RGS for now, then sell in summer if the Fatboy turns out to be the one. I have lined up the 30th anniversary for $23K OTD which I feel is pretty good, but negotiated that price prior to the shelter in place went into effect. Wonder if I could squeeze about a bit more now. If I were to buy in Nevada or Oregon how would I register it here in California? Would love to get the 131 kit out of the gate.

@patrickgagne8795 4 года назад

Steve Gutierrez 23k otd is a stellar price. Would be hard to beat. You can buy the bike in Az and register in California. Just go to the dmv once you have it in the state.
