I love the Fat Bob, but the dual headlights & that cheesy V- Rod exuastgot to go.
Ditto. Too Euro. But ditch those headlights and put a 21' front wheel on there...and we might be talking.

I think it looks cool . The double headlight really ought to light up the road at night. I am sure Harley will make some changes , based on owner feedback. And for the Spring- Bob person you woud have to go with weaker brakes up front, but it would look sweet. IMO

I love that bike. I've been tryin to talk the wife into lettin me get one, but it isnt lookin good. My local dealer doesnt have one yet. I'm not convinced on the dual headlights and the pipes look like crap...maybe some ground-pounders.

Give it some time, its gonna grow huge, I like everything about it, but concerned about the extra weight & wider tires effects on handling.

I pretty much have the better half convinced to let me buy one. I thoguht that rear fender looked familiar, thanks for helping this rook place it. The pipes are unique and make the bike stand out. I am waiting to see if VH or someone else makes some aftermarket pipers with the same general styling. If I were to replace them I would go with long shots I think. I saw a guy in the sporty forum who has cermaic coating on his pipes and they look awesome. I think that would add to this bike a lot.

Not a fan... looks like a trail bike. But to each their own...

I think it could be cool if it were modified to look like a Harley.

You guys are crazy........That dual head light is the POOP, I can't wait to pick one up off the classifieds for cheap because no one wants them, but that rear fender blows hard. Hell what do I know.
