2019 Harley Davidson Fat Boy Ride Review!

[@charliedaly7599]

Iv had my 18 fatboy for over a year now and love it,u get used to the steering after a few runs, i added a screen,saddlebags and heated grips and its about as perfect a bike as u can buy in my opinion.

[@WoodyRides]

This bike is in my top 3 favorite so far. But I kinda love all the softails I have rode. I think the only thing you need yet is cruise control.

[@charliedaly7599]

@@WoodyRides i agree with that👍

Wt about newly launched rocket 3??

I just traded my 2019 SGS for a 2020 Fat boy yesterday (for real, not youtube BS). The SGS felt big and super heavy. Felt like driving a bus around a go cart track. I wasn't a fan but the fat boy...LOVE IT!! Was expecting it hard to maneuver but after 10 mins I had it down. Very enjoyable ride. Only thing I found was the shifting felt clunky

[@WoodyRides]

Patrick Gagne I’ve road the SGS, RGS, and the RKS now and the only one I kinda liked is the RKS.

[@patrickgagne8795]

@@WoodyRides I'm with you. I did everything to love my sgs. Stage 4, full legends suspension (highly recommend for the baggers), 14" bars etc etc. I kept throwing $$ at it just to realize that I don't like the bike. Test rode the fatboy and that was it for me. So easy to maneuver. Next week it gets stage III (will never do stage 4 again), v&h big shots, leds and cruise control. Pretty stoked. Great review. You can see my sgs by searching my name (I think lol). After 2-3 months, I traded it in.

[@WoodyRides]

Patrick Gagne I really want a softail with a 114! Stuck between a fxdr, breakout, and the fat boy. Why don’t you want another stage 4?

[@patrickgagne8795]

@@WoodyRides I was torn between the BO and the fatboy. After riding both, the fatboy was a clear choice for me. The stage 4 was too aggressive for the street. Running over 5k rpm on a twin to get the best gains isn't practical and the throttle was WAY too touchy. Especially in traffic or in town. My wife was constantly banging into me whenever I let off the throttle. Also, while on the highway, 6th gear is so tall that I was constantly shifting between 5th and 6th.

[@patrickgagne8795]

@@WoodyRides Forgot to mention, the 114 is awesome and the new mono shock softail frame is truly incredible. Here the link to my sgs vid if interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5ykaaqgqZySmsk

I’ve ridden it and I love it but first thing I’d do is change that front face!!! Don’t like that modern touch at alllllll keep em Classic lookn Harley!!

[@WoodyRides]

C.W Dervin I’m pretty you can remove that piece around the headlight.

[@c.wdervin5987]

WoodyOn2Wheels I think u need to change the whole front with the front wheels????

[@TheRicokilla]

It’s a powerful bike. But it seems small for a 6feet tall person. It could maybe the leg pegs positioning. And it’s not exactly ideal for town use. Turning is painful

I don't know, but it looks like the mirror can be moved closer and farther away from your hand. Good video. 👍

[@WoodyRides]

I don’t know. I do like them and they work good. But just something I noticed. Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@Theplaided1s]

I just bought a 24 black fat boy from piqua Harley today. Thats hilarious.

[@lonniedearing5799]

Heel-toe shifter? You aren't supposed to put your boot under the shifter.

[@WoodyRides]

They don’t have heel shifters on them.

Sorry but this fatty model is dam ugly at the front not as nice as the older models when you knew you were riding a harley they weren't as fast but it never was about going fast new harleys you feel like your on a Yamaha

[@WoodyRides]

dano gamez for me this fatboy is in my top 5. It’s fun to ride and really comfortable.

[@tyroneshoelace4872]

Just bought a 2021 Fat Boy. I will likely sell it soon. Can't stand it. Every turn is a wrestling match, shifting is clunky, can't find neutral, it shakes at 45 mph, zero torque since dealer put on pipes (will sue dealer to put it back to stock), it doesn't, and never will sound like a Harley, and other things I don't like. I have an Indian in my garage which I love, although heavier than I'd like. The big takeaway for me is that Harley is really a mess. They are selling a "culture" and a "brand", and all the motorheads are Harley guys. Meanwhile, nobody really knows how these bike work, not even Harley. I called 10 authorized Harley service departments and got 11 different answers to the same question. It didn't matter if the subject was warranty or tuners, they were clueless (although each thought they were experts).

[@WoodyRides]

These motors have been out for 4 or 5 years now and everyone loves them. Everything about them is better. I don’t know if I believe you’re comment because it’s so far off from what everyone is saying about these new bikes. Some people call the Milwaukee 8 there best engine.

[@tyroneshoelace4872]

@@WoodyRides Well, you missed my point entirely.

[@WoodyRides]

I’ve rode a 19 and a 20 fat boy. I didn’t feel that way at all about the bike. Turns fine, plenty of power, and it sounds good stock.

[@cgoody9913]

@@tyroneshoelace4872 I think you missed it. Love my 19. Just find something else and be happy.
