Default Opinions on the 2014 Fat Bob

Have you seen one of the new 2014 Fat Bobs in person? What is your general impression of the new look?

The most obvious of the changes are the new wheels, new paint, new rear fender and lights, and the new Reflex braking system. Is any of that stuff something you would like to have or does the new look ruin it for you?

From looking at the top and third pictures, the ONLY thing I like are the risers and handlebars.

Saw several in person the other day and I'm not quite sure. I HATED it when I saw the photos, and the sand paint scheme looked pretty bad to me when I saw it in person. But the black one looks better than the pics would suggest.

But that back fender and light combo just looks... unfinished to me. It has a chopped off, modern look that just doesn't seem to flow with the lines of the bike as well as it could have.

I wonder how difficult it would be to swap the fender/lights from a 2013 Fat Bob. I've seen pics of people swapping out the 2013 fender for one from a Wide Glide, but I wonder whether how difficult it would be to put the Wide Glide fender on the 2014 Fat Bob.

Just considering the options.

Going against the grain on this one... I like it. I even like the rear fender.

The more I look at it, the more it grows on me. Doubt I would ever buy one though.

Currently plotting to to buy one next spring, vivid black.

I imagine it will look great with some small touches. Mad Max style.

Replace the rear fender with something like the wide glide one and I'd really dig it. From the front, sides, absolutely monster looking bike.

From the rear I just see cookiepuss
