MGTOW_ LIFE It was great meeting you!

I have a 2016 fat Bob with forward controls , I’m 6ft1 so it’s perfect for me one or two up , loads of torque at low revs from the motor with surprisingly good handling for a cruiser , sounds great with the Vance & Hines shorts on too😎

Thanks for the excellent feedback man. Ill absolutely keep it goin.

Before all the contests, giveaways, click-bait and “merch”. Just solid, quality content. Yep

Awesome man!

@@aztriumphster Couldn't sleep for days till it was ready! Love your content mate! Safe travels and keep it up

It's my pleasure!

Glad u like the video. I am a fan of the new headlight but I must say most folks don't like it. Swapping it over is going to come down to the diameter of the upper portion of the forks where the shroud and hardware mount and the width of the forks. If it were me, I would see if anyone else had done it and if so inquire with them. If not, then head down to your local dealership and take some measurements. The parts guys r likely going to say "no it won't fit" and that's that, but where there's a will there's a way. Lastly I might see if a kit already exists for your bike.

I hear this a lot & I get why it's a turn off for some. I've ridden nonstop for well over 200 miles on more occasions than I can recall....however nowadays (I'm 58 yrs old) I'm more than ready to get off & stretch my legs more often. I have a stage 1 kit on my 2020 FXFBS 114 and I'm close to 250lbs. I'm getting at LEAST 47mpg....including roughing her up a bit now & then. 150 easy before I need fuel. I don't think the range is as big an issue....to some, as it's made out to be. I know this doesn't apply to everyone, just playing Devil's advocate. I also have a couple 1 litre fuel bottles that I can toss in the bag if needed.

@@ronpuchalski6388 I'm 57 myself and rode to Alaska in 2018 and this new FB back from NYC to Florida. While I can't imagine going back to Alaska on this bike, there is something to be said for riding any distance without range anxiety. The 2020 FB can NOT make a night run to Pensacola from Ocala unless you ride the Interstate something I personally rarely do.

I have 7500 miles in one season on my 2020 Fat Bob. I'm 5-10/5-11 & it is comfortable. I regularly do 150-250 mile rides..rarely do I go 100 miles before taking a stretch break. The factory seat is pretty good for an HD. Just ordered a saddlemen seat to stretch a bit more comfort out of her but the FB is a bike that does everything well. Great for cruising the back roads, tons of fun in the twisties & can let you rack up miles.....I've had everything under the sun from dirt bikes, dual sports, rice rockets & cruisers.....this is my favorite bike to date & I'm coming off a bagger.

Apologies for the slow/late response. The foot controls were actually moved back a bit by the previous owner. They were somewhere between forward and true mid. The brackets/supports were custom made/powder coated. I’m sorry I don’t have a good picture or better answer to share as I’ve since sold that bike. Best of luck!

Nice! Have u ridden the new one?

@@aztriumphster No. I'm 76 and now on a fixed income. I also have an '89 FXSTS, which has been properly "evilized." -L- That's enough for this old fart...

Have u ridden one of the new ones yet???

@@aztriumphster No I only have a Rebel 500

@@tinman3586 the new softails handle phenomenally and the motor is the smoothest and best performing yet.

i'm 5'11" and my 2011 felt small but super tall at the same time when I got it, so I immediately replaced the seat, put a 1.75 lowering kit on the back end and got 16" apes, it's much better now. I test rode a 2020 about a month ago and hated it, it just felt cramped up

@@BerserkerNick I’m 6ft1 and it’s too small for me too , I have the Dyna 103 2016 fat Bob 😎

I've been thinking about it. I get nearly 200 miles out of the 3+ish gallon tank. Would be nice to add another nearly 100 miles though. Edit: so he only gets 200 miles out of his 5 gal tank? i get 185 out of my 2020 fat bob. so its not that big a difference.

In my experience, you would average 45mpg depending on what type of riding u do and performance mods. So around 150 miles to a tank

going fast you can deplete it in 50 - 60 miles. hypercruising at 75mph you can do pretty good. 180 miles or so. city commute im getting like 120-130 a tank. (2021 fatbob)

Not too sure. If harley used the same motor for both years, it's likely the tanks will fit the same

A direct swap? The wiring im sure would be no problem but the mounting may prove difficult

I was just about to ask this question - love my 2013 fatbob except the headlights, not just the fact they are a bit shit power-wise but the new model's lights look way better IMHO

Hey Alex, thanks! I am 5' 5" tall, or short is the more apt description of my height. In the video I am wearing some riding shoes that maybe give me an inch or so.

AZ Triumphster cool!!! Thank you🤘

@@aztriumphster I was wondering myself about your size too because i am a similar gabarit ! thx for this precision nice day

The new breakout has 5 Gallon Tank.

The Softail far out handles the Dyna from the factory. During the time that I owned my Softail Fat Bob I added an extension to the rear shock lifting the rear an inch. You can also slide the fork tubes down about a half inch elevating the front slightly. Those 2 mods plus a set of mid controls and ull have urself a fun bike to ride that performs well in the twisties.

@@aztriumphsterthanks for the info, I appreciate it. I was finding it hard to get real world info about handling, this is helpful. I am leaning towards the Dyna chassis Fatbob simply because of the lower cost. I had to replace the suspension on my other Harley’s, I just assume this one will need a set of aftermarket emulsion shocks like Ohlins or Legends (just the basic shocks with rebound adjustment does wonders), stiffer fork springs and thicker oil. I think this might do the trick.

I'm 5'5" with about a 29" inseam.

@@aztriumphster thanks! I bet this would be a good fit for me.

@@GunNut37086 let me know if u end up getting it and how u like it

​@@aztriumphster I had cash in hand this morning and went to test ride the Fat Bob. It was immaculate, the seat/pegs/bars fit me like a glove, and I feel in love with it immediately. I've ridden a lot of bikes since '81 when I got my first one and this Fat Bob was the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden, but it was the first cruiser bike I've ever been on, so I had no clue it'd be so hard to force into a turn. That kind of threw me off, so I'm still on the fence about it.

@@GunNut37086 thats a shame. Even though its a cruiser, It should be that difficult to throw into a turn. Usually that an indicator of something wrong with the tires. Either tire pressure or the shape of the tire carcas. It could also be the suspension. I've owned and ridden a variety of new and vintage, sport and cruiser motorcycles. All handled differently but none handled poorly. My '19 softail is one of the best handling bikes I've owners.

About 5' 5"

Do you think the older controls would be an issue at 5’9? Is it possible to adjust the controls to height?

@@mcbainish i am unsure of the adjustability but I think at 5'9" you should be okay

I’m 5’9 and this bike is for 5’9 riders,
