Default Back to Fat Bob

Close to trading my 13 Breakout back to a 14 Fat Bob. Loves the looks of the Breakout but I get sore after more than 30 min on it. Traded my 13 Fat Bob on the Breakout. But after a year on the Breakout the Fat Bob just drove better.

I guess I want it all. Looks of Breakout ride of Fat Bob.

Like the looks and comfort of Wide glide but know will not drive like at Fat Bob

So tormenting myself on going back to bike already had.

Thank God I love my 14 Ultra limited.

BOB prefers to be referred as pleasing plump.

Anyway hope you get the scoot you like.

Default bars

Bars would help on Breakout. But do not want to spend a lot of money that will not make bike worth a dime more

I agree with swapping seats and maybe bars. Then again, you know what will make you happy and have to go whatever direction that may be.

while great to look at and ride straight lines from bar to bar, it's really not a fun to ride as the Fat Bob

I think it would be worth a test ride on a Wide Glide. You might not like it, but at least you'll know you made the right choice.

The Fat Bob is the best handling HD, period.
One of the many reasons I just traded my Super Glide Custom for one last week.
