For me, I love my Fat Bob but just wanted to newest, latest and greatest. After not trading, I am glad I didn't and have a stronger appreciation for my Fat Bob. Based on the specs, it's essentially the same bike with a few minor differences.
Its a nice bike but it looks just like any other Harley. The fat bob is unique, that what I like about it.

On that note, has anyone looked into whether the 5 gallon tank from the Low Rider S can be fitted on to our fat bob?

I've looked into it and I believe it can be done. Just depends on what that extra 1.4 gallons is worth to you. Dealer told me it'd be $2,500 to $3,000 to do the conversion. Sourcing the parts myself, it looks like a tank and pump are $1,000 from Surdyke, plus painting the tank. The question is on fitting the instrument cluster back on the tank, since the 5-gallon tanks use a different bracket. You might have to cut that off and fabricate a bracket, or try to fabricate some sort of adapter, so the instrument cluster would fit.

I agree the clamshell riding position on the FXDR is just too extreme and ruled it out for me. I liked the Diavel a lot, but the Fat Bob just slays it in the looks department.

Tire pressure?
Anyone know a good range for the tire pressure on the stock Dunlops?
I see 36psi for the front and 40 for the rear, but I just bought the FOBO Bike 2 tire pressure monitors. Pretty cool. It asks for you to set a range before you get an alert, so how far above and how far below should I set that?

I dont have a manual and could not find this online.
Thank you!
