Ready to pull the trigger, I know this is a very loaded question and each person will have a different reason as to why one over the other, But I just have to see what comes out of this from some experienced Dyna owners, I have never owned a Dyna and actually have been away from Harleys since around 2001.

The question is any good reason as to why one over the other? I have driven both and actually like both rides. Damn hard decision for me. So maybe you will help me decide? The bike will be mainly a weekend cruiser bar hopper local rides. Yes I know at the end of the day it is my decision but looking for a little info or kik in the ***.. Thanks in advance.

 

i just bought the bob and like it, but you have less options as far as fairings etc go, but they are easy fixes

 

Those were my two choices as well. I had my heart set on a fat bob because of the dual disk front brakes and slightly better handling but in the end the bling of the superglide won out. The big factor was I just didn't see a 1500 difference in bikes. I was looking at used fat bobs and ended getting a new superglide for the same price.

2 years later my superglide will handle better then any stock fat bob except the fat bob will stop a little quicker. But I don't use my brakes in emergency situations, I use my throttle. Can't hit me if you can't get to me.

 

Went to the superglide from a road king and could not be any happier

 

Bob. Best handling Harley off the assembly line EVER.

 

No way, my DX will ride circles around my Fat Bob all day, the stock Fat Bob doesn't come close to the handling of a stock DX

 

Tough choice for sure. Like Rooti I was looking at the difference in price. I rode them both on Long Island on crappy rods and it was a coin toss. Then I went to Americade in Lake George, NY and rode them both extensively on twisty roads. For my height, weight and inseam the Super Glide fit the bill. The mid controls and seat to bar distance just plain fit. Rode fifty miles today and each ride re-affirms my choice.
