Yea, dont drink and drive like Billy? Why pick out Billy? Lonesome cold shot. He lives this every day and you feel it watching his videos..

Indian Larry was a HUGE HUGE influence on me as a kid. I was a teenager when he was on TV building bikes. I owe it to him for my taste in bike styling, and I own him probably for how I ended up not being a drug addict and alcoholic. He's such a positive and wholesome guy, but the most important thing he ever said for me, was when they did the interview on TV during Biker Build of where he talked about quitting drinking. He said he doesnt smoke he doesnt drink, and it gave him a better life. Seeing that from someone I respected and admired so much, mattered more than any parent or church leader or anything like that. Made me want to keep away from drugs and booze. As a result, despite having lived such a very difficult life and spent a lot of time on the streets, I never ended up a drug addict or Alcoholic. And I believe I owe that man the credit for that. If I could meet him, I'd thank him. We lost a real living Legend when he died.

Great video right up until you said they're known for "high torque and neck snapping power" "getting someone off the line" is exactly what will happen when you whack the throttle, which by the way Harley's have always been known for. They are like freight trains they'll take you off the line and then lose in the middle until that freight train starts to come alive then you better be hanging on for dear life!! And EVERY Harley Davidson is woefully undepowered when it comes to "stopping power"!! They all should have dual discs up front and at a minimum a 300 mm single disc in the back.There is no "overkill" when it comes to braking!!

I walked out of a harley store in 1964 -when the owner thought I didnt have to money to buy---so I went to a triumph dealer and bought a new ;bonnie' and never looked back harley is a joke

I have a 2023 FatBoy Anniversary edition with 1350Klms and i have lines just off center to the right, it looks like there is a pencil mark on the tire. There is NOTHING touching tire or goudging it but just a pencil line anyone know what causes this as its on both tires Thanks

I only went to Harley because I had some jet skis I wanted to dump and they gave me what I wanted for them. It worked out where he couldn’t screw me iver if they wanted to sell me the bike, win win for me but now they won’t leave me alone and are trying to get me on a street glide so bad I get at least 1 call a week.

Nice bike...the only thing I would have changed is... add forward controls...and the music/stereo package...some kind of slip-on muffler.

Absolutely not true. A fat boy is a fat boy because the overall width of the bike is wider than other bikes like it. It is not because of tire width. Yes the tires are wider than most bikes, but so is the entire bike.

I want a bike that I can ride comfortably and safely. This bike sounds like it can be that, but I have to make it so. When Harley decides to build one I will buy it

I find it interesting that you would talk about this American . Just for "clicks" on YOUR channel .. I feel like your riding coat tails for "likes" and "views" I DONT APPROVE OF THIS TYPE OF fishing for views ... you could get a bloody mouth over it . You should have called it "the greatest comeback in human history " ... Not fair what you did for "views" .... kinda of cheap actually ..🇺🇸

Thats the best looking harley, harley builds.

Ive been riding my 2001 roadking classic for over 20 years ,its my daily rider during riding season.

It was never about that ridiculous movie with heroin addict pop stars scratching finger nails on a chalkboard, it's about how the bikes looked back when I saw a 2006 CVO with a yellow/orange/purple paint job, bad ass to the bone. What will HD do for 2025, humm how about another two wheeled Winnebago for $60k, right.

I liked the blue one and the blue and yellow. They should have put chrome wheels instead of polished aluminum...just my opinion. Great video 🤘🏻 💯

The indian is a wayyy better bike in my op

I had a 2016 Fat Boy S that was all blacked out with the denim black paint. I think that’s one of the better looking Fat Boy’s and Harley’s ever made for that matter. Sold her to move up to a Road King Special for the storage space/touring capability. As a Road King owner I am also upset that it’s 30th is going by without a peep from Harley. They are all about the performance baggers, street and road glides, so won’t be surprised if they overlook all the other models for the foreseeable future. The Road King is also one of the best looking, most iconic bikes so hate to see it forgotten like it has been. I don’t want to be married to a fairing and be the 100th street or road glide to pull up to bike night.

I own a '05 Fatboy now, bought from new in January 05. It's a stock motor with Scream'in Eagles mufflers. I've had a few early model Harley's & this is my last. ( don't like the look of the new look Fatboys). My impression of my Fatboy was the last of the FL look. I'm a 65 yr old Biker from Australia. Love my Fatboy. Thanks for your content. Live 2 Ride

That was a nice history lesson. Thanks.

I love both the Fat Boy and chrome but I think these editions are a bit over the top. Don't recall ever seeing one 'out in the wild' and didn't know they even existed.

Holy shit, brother I would’ve canceled the whole deal. What a bunch of bullshit.

In fact the motor comany came up with that name due to the atom bombs fatman and littleboy hence the name fatboy, the very first model even came out with the same color scheme as the bombs and the rocker boxes had those very same orange stripes the bombs had. Although all models have come out off the factory with solid rims, the first fatboys such as the evo's or some of the earlier twin cams did not came with real "fat" tires, in fact those fatboys used to have 130mm front and rear tires on 16' rims. As time went by, fatboys became larger not just tire size wise but frame and motor wise as well, so the robust configuration of this iconic Harley Davidson helped the term stick and became known for it. P.S. Personally I don't know anybody who has asked if the fatboy is a good beginner motorcycle, but it's like asking if you can learn to shoot with an AR-15 assault rifle, it just doesn't make any sense at all.

In England and considering a move to HD and, specifically, the FatBoy; the best looking HD in my view. Currently riding a late (and excellent) Yamaha XJR1300 that is stylish, nimble and with bags of torque. Problem is, the old twisty, country lanes that were all quiet, in good condition and had 60mph speed limits back in our hay day are now full of pot holes, cyclists, horseriders and 40 mph limits. So, maybe it’s time to just bob along on a cool-looking bike that can be really stable at low speeds, comfortable at cruising speeds and fast out of corners - and look good doing it. Thanks for the review.

Hey Brotha for my 22 Fatboy, I looked in for the battery chrome covers so they were different numbers over here and Arizona, but the dealership was able to find them and they weren’t too expensive. They were like 200 and some dollars. I really appreciate your video without that I would’ve never knew that a 24 breakout covers would work. Thank you again keep on with videos

After having owned and raced numerous sportbikes ....I now own a 2024 Fatboy and in my opinon you are 100% on point with your conclusion on the Fatboy wheels !!

I purchased a 2020 Fatboy last September with only 2100 miles on it, it looked like the first owner had a tank bag on it and scuffed the medallion, where did you get a replacement? Thanks

Oh chit! I hate when that happens. Anyway, have you had any issues with condensation in the speedo. housing on any of your Fat Boys and did you do anything to remedy it? I bought a 2016 last winter. 2,000 miles on it. I hadn't noticed this issue on this bike until recently on a few hour ride and it started to appear across the bottom. I've watched a few videos on dealing with it, but the processes were extreme. There's got to be an easy way to eliminate it.

Should’ve heated up the orig decal & tried to get some fishing line behind it? Like removing reflectors?

Live and learn.😎

Detailing can be tricky..I posted a video short on my channel of my bike after being cleaned and detailed

lets have some SPORTSTER NEWS

I found that it’s really hard to not put ever so slight scratches in the chrome, especially on top of the triple tree/forks. It’s kind of like I’d rather ride the bike a little bit dirty, then continually wash it and risk the chance of scratching the chrome. I’m going to always start with a brand new microfiber cloth and do the rims last.

Dirt Glide... it is a bagger \o/

Can't imagine someone actually using that bike for offroad use...ugly but nice at the same time...too expensive to bang up...too heavy for offroad for me as well.

I actually bought one sumday. I own a shovel, but currently on the road for work. The fatboy will be my "while i travel" bike. So im not beating up my shovel

It is nice to know this kind of shit happens to someone else and not just me. Thanks for the rant.

Good review!

Excellent review! Well done Sir.

Good review. Would like to ride the 2 glides just to see what all the hype is and have never ridden a bike with a fairing.. but like you say they are very popular out there

Have to admit I like my street glide for highways. It is a comfy cruiser. However I would never buy an m8. My friends that have them don't really like them as much as their twin cams. Something 'too refined' about the m8's. They lack a good sound even with aftermarket pipes / mufflers

Nice bike. Little too expensive for me. I own a 93 ultra classic with an 88 kit in my Evo with 19000 original kms. It's perfect for my alberta hwys.

The favorite of the company is the one who sells for the highest price.

I personally got between a concrete wall and a diesel truck, and yes I was doing around sixty mph, yes definitely a death wobble...

Not for me, either. I'll never get a bike with spokes or a chain again, ever. :)

If I was six foot eight, id give one a try.

$1700.00 for tires & clutch adjustment ??? " RED FLAG " They've already taken you're bike. Their freaking problem. I will never buy another Harley. Indian looking better & better. 😮

Hey buddy just called the dealer they can give me that part and they said that it’s all good. It would work so thanks for the info on your site 👍🏼

Hey buddy I tried calling Harley and asking him about the part and they were going to get back to me, but that’s gonna be the next thing I do is just called the parts department at a store. Thank you for getting back to me. Talk to you soon.

Hey brotha i’ve been watching your videos and I like the way you explain things and I’ve been wanting to get back to you and tell you this, but I’ll give you thumbs up👍🏼 It helps a lot of us that are not real familiar with certain things that can go wrong with bikes, but I wanted to ask you I have a 22 Fatboy and I see one of your videos about the battery chrome cover I live in Arizona and I’ve been wanting to get chrome covers for the longest time. I’ve had the bike for two years exactly what I be able to get these covers because I seen your description. I looked them up, but I don’t know if it’s because you live out there and I live over here. It’s different if you could help me out there? But all, and said Good videos, things to know……..

bike looks stupid not far me

Not my cup of tea,
