I'm looking at the lean angles of these bikes and none of them have any more lean angle than any previous Big Twin Harley of at least the last 18 years. Granted the Fat Boy may have more lean angle than the last Fat Boy BUT 32 degrees is the maximum lean angle of any Big Twin HD and it has been that way for awhile. So that means the touring bikes still have the best lean angles at 32 degrees on both sides. The Fat Bob is the closest from what I see and that's 31 on the L and 32 on the R. Given the weight difference the Fat Bob gets the win there but to hear the HD people speak, they have bikes with much more lean angle...I call BS on that.

 

I dig the 107 and 114, and the new Fat Bob headlight is sexy! My tittie tail lights are still the best though

 

You realize the new Fat Bob is a softail now not a dyna correct?

 

Yeah I did right after I hit REPLY lol, that's crazy. Doesn't look as good at all out back.

 

being that they're offering a 107 or 114, I'm wondering if they'll release anything similar to the s models with a larger motor. I've already got a 117 so I'm good but if they release something bigger, I might have to do a 124

 

AND 33lb lighter, I dig that part too.

 

I've had several Dynas, the last one being a 2016 Dyna S that I boosted to 117. Truth be told, the Dyna line was the worst selling big twin in recent years. That's probably why they dropped it and may bring it back if demand changes. I always liked the handling of the Dyna's particularly with the 19 inch front and 17 inch rear wheel. Overall I'm not impressed with the 2018 line up. IMHO greens and browns look much better on Jeeps than motorcycles, to each his own

 

I dig the new Road King Special too, green specifically haha! But yeah, each rider's go their own taste no doubt.

 

Yeah, but the previous Fatboy had about 25° lean. And that lean angle is when the boards touch. On the touring bikes, the hard parts aren't far behind. I'm guessing the Softies will allow a lot more as the boards fold up.
And while 600 lbs ain't exactly light, it's a hell of a lot lighter than Road Glide. You'd have paid $40k to get that kind of power to weight out of an old Harley and then it'd probably last a week before its crank scissored. And you'd still be riding on a crap suspension with no cornering clearance and an engine that would set you legs of fire!
I find it amusing that Polaris got rid of their functional bikes to make flashy parade bikes and Harley got into making performance cruisers. I used to root for Polaris, but now I'm firmly in the Harley camp. Can't wait to ride one.

 

Only compared to softails, I saw a lowrider dyna vs new lowrider is only 5 pounds.
