First thing I noticed was the football is gone. Is it just me, or did the forks on the Street Bob get narrow again?

First impressions? I'm not digging it. I like the rear fender and that's about it. It kind of looks like a metric copy to me. I don't feel like I'm missing out this year, although the Rocker presents some cool potential (minus the fugly seat).

Whiff

Love it.

Dual front discs; 180" rear, dual headlights.

To be honest, after reviewing all the '08 models, the FatBob is the only one I'm halfway interested in.

Not my cup of tea. Actually, I don't like ANY of their '08 offerings. That new softail... is trying to be a OCC bike or something. The Fat Bob... well, the dual headlights I can't get used to. It looks off to me. Even the street bob, actually... I like my '06 better.

Just me tho.

Don't care for the rear fender or the pipes. Do like the wider tires, headlights and breaks. Would be nice to see it in person and take a test ride to compare.
