Default Sharp looking Fat Bob but...

...the article calls it the meanest but I'll give them 2nd meanest after mine, besides, they didn't PC their brake pedal or kickstand so they're only half-stepping!

Seriously though, sharp looking Fatty

I hadn't heard of Rough Crafts until fairly recently, but they really seem to be making a name for themselves.

Damn I like it, did buy the Rough Crafts gas cap about a month ago. So I am .0001% on my way to that look.

Don't like it at all. Looks like a offroad edition sportster 48.

Cool bike, but they took away some of the unique features that make up the Fatbob. I like that gas tank design.

I would have to agree with the rough part of their design. It looks like about 1 inch of suspension.

Agreed. Ho Humm, how soon will this lowered and blacked out everything trend end? All it's missing are the fairing and t-bars to look like a thousand and one other bikes.

Yeah, does look more like a super glide than a Fat bob and I'll bet they went with those big tires to help with the spine shock from lack of suspension but no doubt they built it as somewhat of a calling card for their business.
I'd still like to take it for a spin.

I have to admit, I am always a little shocked at how some of you guys are down on blacked out bikes, and fairings and other peoples choice of bars.

Blacked out bikes are nothing new, and as far as seeing "...a thousand and one other bikes." because of a little fairing or bars, c'mon, blacked out bikes and fairings are far outnumbered by all other types of H-D's.

The beauty of these Dyna's is they are (my opinion) the best platform of Harley's to do what you want with, some people are content with keeping them stock, and I love to see those bikes, and some people like to tinker and change a thing here or there, that's cool too.

I imagine in the warm places (Cali) and big metro areas you see a lot of bikes like you do here in the "Thug/Club" thread but not around here.

110% of what I do with my bike is from riding it or standing in my garage and staring at it until I notice something on it that I want how I want it, not from how I think someone else will appreciate it or dislike it.

Bikes are cool, damn fun to ride. And don't get me wrong, I don't mind people who have less than positive opinions of other bikes, it's all good, world would be boring if we didn't have other views.

Like my sex life and sense of humor, my bike only has to please one person, me
