I love my Fat Bob. It handles great and just looks plain mean compared to most other Harleys I see on the roads. It also performs well, but will be even better after I fit the cams I have in my garage and get the heads ported - which is my forthcoming winter project....
I liked how when they first came out, mid mount pegs were an option. I've test ridden a Fat Bob and like it. Having said that, there aren't any Dynas that I don't like riding. I may be wrong (likely am), but prior to the Low Rider returning, I thought the Fat Bob was the best option to build into a sportified Big Twin cruiser.

I recently purchased a minty 2012 which came with the forward controls. After a few hundred miles, I'm still not loving the riding position. It probably works great for those who are 6-ft and up, but it's too much of a stretch for me. In particular, my right leg feels like it's constantly in danger of slipping off the peg. I also recently returned to a Harley after an interlude of a few years on sport bikes, and the feet-forward position just feels strange. So I've gathered the parts to change my Bob over to mid controls; I'll be doing it later this month.
When I first saw the Bob I knew that was the Dyna I wanted. 2 into 1, dual headlights & disks, fat tires. Sweet.
But then I saw the new Low Riders about the same time the piggy bank had enough money in it to buy one. Plus I found out that you can't buy a Bob from the factory with mid controls anymore.
