We review the cool, brutish Harley-Davidson Fat Bob 114 with Vance and Hines High Output slip ons by Sycamore Harley Davidson in Uppingham UK www.sycamorehd.co.uk
We look at the engine, brakes, styling exhaust sound, ride and handling, ergonomics, rake & trail and more. How good is it for taller riders or average height riders?
This beautiful cruiser motorbike has slightly different geometry to the other softails which gives it slightly sharper steering. If you are thinking of a street bike, maybe this could be a better option!
This bike is fitted with the side-mounted number/registration plate which makes the wheel and fender look a lot better!
In this video the Ol' Man s wearing the Marlon Brando Style Leather BikerJacket from Bike Wear Direct. www.bikeweardirect.co.uk/mens...

Great Review lads waiting for delivery this week, I’ve had the same slip on’s and powder coated the heat shields black with the number plates new home on a tail tidy sitting under the fender/mudguard hopefully this will stop the worst of the mud. Best review channel on the Web, keep them coming!!!!

Mud off the front tyre is a mess on the forward areas so a fender extender is a must. Likewise rain is flicked up from the rear tyre! A dreadful design! Bigger mudguards are essential! Our number-plates are stupid looking on the side, sometimes we just have to accept that big English number-plates look best below a rear mudguard!

Great review gents 👍🏻. Number plates on British bikes are really ridiculously large; especially on that bike, I expect the eventual owner will modify it. The Plod however take a great delight in pulling you for a small plate and issuing a NIP. In the famous quotes of Terry Thomas, " there an absolute shower".

Excellent review. Since you asked, I have a Fat Bob 114 2019 in black, and things I've done to it so far: 1. Added Harley heated grips, essential for Scotland! 2. Added Harley cruise control, makes motorways so much better. 3. It came with the same V&H slipons as your demo model, as well as saddlebags, didn't need to do those myself. 4. Added a TomTom GPS mount up front. 5. Added heated jacket lead. 6. Removed the ridiculous passenger grab strap; it's flimsy and held on by a single tiny bolt! I would not trust it with a passenger's life! My pillion passenger just grabs a hold of me. 7. Added Harley long stem mirrors and mirror extenders, the standard mirrors as they come are borderline un-usable. 8. Added a GPS tracker for peace of mind. 9. Had Harley fix the throttle; it was rattling laterally and back and forth, i.e. it had way too much slop. Fixed under warranty so now there is no rattling when you are riding around. 10. Had Harley fix the rear brake pedal; I think the brakes needed bleeding (which they did under warranty) and moved the pedal up a few degrees. Prior to the fix, even mashing the rear brake pedal produced little effect while riding, and you basically had to stand on it to hill hold. After the fix, it works fine and is useful, without needing to utterly mash it. Next things needing to be done: The end of the forks have some of the black paint flaking off, right where the stanchion meets the fork tube. This needs to be fixed under warranty as well, as that is absolutely not supposed to happen.

Great review. I’ve got the 2023 model and I come from sport bikes. Went to an adventure bike for a year 2017 Honda Africa twin which was a great bike but this fits my riding style much more than adventure bikes. The torque is beautiful and really makes me feel like i’m back on a sports bike with that get up and go. High end not so much but that low end definitely. Nice mountain rider for sure for anyone that is looking to switch from sport bikes to a cruiser style.

I have the 2021 Streetbob, and next year this will be added to our collection, i would keep it fairly standard i think, maybe some slip ons, The streetbob i had to pull bars back 2-3 inches and change the seat to saddle man, memphis shades screen, sissybar, stage 1 and V & H mini grenades which i find quite load tbh so i would look for a nice tone slip on but nothing that grinds after an hour. 114 M8 is amazing done 5k on my bike and learnt on it pretty much although i would not recommend that. Sycamore Harley are great i used them for upgrades/servicing and 2 Yamaha purchases, Great guys.

I attribute the good loods of the bike to the hearty tires. I also like the bobbed rear end, inverterted forks, dual front disk brakes, and upright riding postion with the wide handle bas. Presumably this will help maintain control of the bike when pushing it into the curves. It may also force riders to be alert and attune to the road because of the physical effort needed to hold onto the bars. When I sat on it they felt very broad.

Great Review - Well put together. Gives us a good understanding of which motorcycle this is. Personally, I think that the number plate location should have a more traditional location behind the rear wheel and in extension of the rear fender. If I were in the market, Fat Bob would be high on my "Must Have" list. It is a good motorcycle, great to ride. (Yes, I tested one myself) - Thanks for the video guys!

I bought one my fat bob in black with V&H pipes and a tune, two months ago. Absolutely love it. Changed the uk number plate arm with a under mudguard LED and bracket. Only small criticisms would be mirrors are too short and Speed on new dial is hard to see sometimes.

I watched the 2019 review earlier today. I actually prefer the sound and look of the Harley stock pipes. Like Mr Darcy I didn't like the shape and style of the front light or the tiny little digital instrument cluster on some other models but they've grown on me over time too. I liked the camera view on the ride on the country lane. It gave a great view of the bike in action.

While I'm not fan of HD marketing, I must admit that as impractical as it is, I really like looks of Fat Bob. Last weekend, I rode to San Antonio for demo rides and I was really impressed by Pan Am. Fat Bob was more pleasant riding experience than last year. Fat Boy and Road King I didn't enjoy as I expected. I actually almost bought Fat Bob 3-4 years ago but, the sales guy didn't bother to send me quote as we agreed so, neither did I. Couple months later I bought Super Tenere after almost getting BMW 1200 RT and another customer who was buying shoes changed my mind while I was waiting for Mrs to bring me check book. Talking about spontaneous shopper. Lol. Life is full of surprises.

I think it looks like a Tonka toy, but I loved watching you toss it in the bends. It is HD's best handling bike since at least since the Street Rod. Add a little color, bling, and some spoked wheels and that'd be in the house.

I have always thought of the Fat Bob as a BLVD or backroad Brute. It's the raging Bull of H.D. The only thing on the scoot I don't care for is the front head lamp.

Good bikes , have ridden most of the new softails... leaps and bounds ahead of the old dyna's. Currently own a sport glide, only criticism would be the galvanized bolts are a bit of a let down. You guy's make very good reviews, keep it up.

Good review, even though you had a limited time with it. Its true, but never mentioned in American road tests, that yes, you get soaked/filthy when a side mount number plate is fitted. I've had a 114 fatbob since new in 2018. Fitted a Two Brothers 2-1 and a Fuelpak. Best brakes and handling of the 6 previously owned harleys. Also owned various Japanese bikes Triumphs and even a V-max so I have diverse experience. Can cruise at "fast" motorway speeds as good as any unfaired bike, mainly due to handlebar positioning and shape. A riders Harley Davidson.
