I read the source material, which Ill also link below, but Im not so sure about his conclusion. I will say it makes sense for more Softail updates after last year was all touring bike news.
The fat bob is still sold in Europe so I don't think this necessarily means it'll make a comeback to the North American market but we'll see soon.

If the fat bob came with factory mids I would've gotten that instead.
