    Evening all,
    Figured I’d throw up a photo and say g’day. New to the forums, heard only good things.

    Two weeks today since collecting my new Fat Bob 114 (FXFBS), with the 1.99% finance and the MY19 runout deals too good to pass up.

    Have a rather large modification wish list, but for the immediate future I’ve backordered a Two Brothers Racing 2-into-1 Shorty Turnout exhaust in the black finish and a Cycle Visions tail tidy fender eliminator inc signals to get rid of the factory “Tow Hitch” licence plate holder with a few other bits and pieces such as handlebar under mount LED indicators and potentially I nice set of risers etc.

    Anyway, look forward to meeting a few of you and reading up on other members rides.

    Cheers

    Nice choice mate, and good to see you're ditching that ugly standard exhaust!

    Yea I did the same and moved the slim s on for a 2019 RGS in Billiard blue - stage 2/S&S slip ons. That 1.99% was just too good to pass up.

    Half tempted to pull off the ugly arse tins, as I don’t mind the look of the headers. No doubt it’ll run like a pig and pop like mad on decel.

    Love the Road Glide Specials, especially the Gunship Grey CVO the other year. Would easily have been my second choice, but decided against a tourer for now at least.

    Will have to see when I finish paying this one off, but for now I’m glad I stuck with my gut decision.

    Cheers mate.
    Goes mint, well impressed straight out the box. Can see why they call the Big Bore 128ci a stump puller kit!

    After almost a two month wait on backorder from the states, I’m well impressed and was totally worth it!
    Managed to get over a weeks worth of riding in before it threw up the engine light (ECM), needs a tune. She’s going in for her first 1,600km service tomorrow, with a Maximus Tune Key and a Rocker Box seal replacement on the front jug as it seems to be weeping a bit which is a common problem from what I’ve read.

    Will get some better photos up soon, but so far only a few modifications including Bikecraft fender eliminator tail tidy and Whiplash Speed Co OEM style shorty levers.

    Yeah whats the deal with that, my 107 did exactly the same with stage 1 upgrade.
    Engine light came on and noticed it running a little rough just before 1600klm first service. 
    Now i can't even ride it into the shop to get its first service!
