I didn't smack it at all.. That's what I'm riding while my 117" is going together.
I just said I didn't like the skinny tire. My Fatbob seat is on it also. I like that better too..

it's a WG dude, cherish how fortunate you are
i rode my WG solo, into mainland europe this year, 2,500 miles. my wife flew out to meet me in Prague, then we rode in pillion mode, around the Czech countryside, when not at the HD event.
at that time, i had the stock wheels and tires, and never once felt uncomfortable. in saying that, i have a bigger front tire now, and it does track better
imo, if the fatboy overall rides better, and gives better configuration options it must be some bike

You ended up with the Fat Bob? That's a nice bike. But I preferred the Wide Glide. She just looks sexy, but your bike is pretty beast.

Congrats.

When I first started looking, the Fatboy felt the most comfortable for me, but the WG is what scratched that itch. So I can definitely see why you were torn.

That being said though, I don't think I'll ever get rid of the WG. Just gonna have to get her some friends.
