This new frame is just penny pinching by the MoCo. I have a hard time believing the solution to our no-FXR problem was a unified softail style frame...

I agree, but if the dyna is a better handling bike vs the softail. How is turning the dyna into a softy better?

Did they post the prices for these Softail Street Bobs? How much of an increase for the new frame, which will likely be replaced in a few years.

2017 Street Bob - Lean Angles 30/31
2018 Street Bob - Lean Angles 28.5 / 28.5 (similar to a 2010+ Dyna Wide Glide)

On the plus side it looks like the Breakout has gained 3 degrees lean angle to 26 degrees.

Umm, interesting. To me the new Fat Bob shares a lot of its look with the Diavel. Guess the proof will be in the riding

That's one of the things I liked about the wg, get rid of the stock exhaust , go up a 1/2 inch shock you have decent lean angle. As far as the new frame I was just wondering how much u can do to a rigid frame with a hidden shock to make it better. And I am just curious not debating or putting the new models down. I hope it is better. As far as 26 dg for rake, not for me, was not it 07 when they improved the dyna frame by beefing it up , but unless the ad the Fxr triangle ( which so many disliked) it wont be as stiff, I have read.
