Default Dilemma

need some input, i been thinking about trading my SB, for either a new low rider, or new fatbob, if i can get input from owners of both on likes and dislikes,i went down to my local stealer and sat on both,they asked if i wanted to ride them, but i didn't want to just yet, i liked the feel of both, so that's why i 'm seeking input from you all.

yea i'm not to fond of the rearend of the fatbob either, and same here i like the front end also, the LR almost seems close to my streetbob when sitting on it,and like the feel of it a little more. plus they both have the 103.mine 96, plus i like that they both have dual front disks

Love my low rider however if money wasn't a problem I probably would have went with a fat bob. I would have to ride the fat Bob again to make that call though, I demoed one at bike week and I remember it handling a lot different than my low rider. Not sure if I would like the forward controls as my legs aren't that long. I like my mid control setup with highway pegs. You will really have to ride both to make a decision

so how much difference in the ride is the fatbob vs lowrider, because i started off wanting the fatbob, but when i went to the dealer the lowrider kind of caught my eye, did the fat tire in the front make the fatbob handle any better?
