Default Fat Bob Opinions

So what is everyone's opinon on the new Fat Bob?

I really like the wider fork, fat tire, and front/rear fenders. I also like the low seat.

What do you all think about it?

I sat on a model at the dealership and it felt right. I want to take one out, possibly rent one if they let me before I buy it, but I am definitely interested.

No Fat Bob for me - does have a certain appeal to some I guess from what I've been reading, but too much like a Triumph or Jap bike to me! Just my opinion, and that doesn't matter much - to each his own.

Still have not seen one on the floor but based on pics I do not care for the fender or exhaust.

I think its a cool look except for the bulging eyeball headlights, but everyone changes there bikes to the way they want, so its kind of a moot point

isn't the rear fender pretty much the same as a softail rear end? It looks similar to me.

I like the exhaust and chunky wheels/tires, but not the dual headlights. However, I do give HD credit for taking a chance on that look since there are a lot of folks who like it (especially Brits it seems).

i don't like the headlights at all, but that's a $100 cobra II headlight to swap that. i would've like to see them make a springer dyna before a fatboy look... and speaking of a springer, why'd they ditch the springer heritage (or whatever they called the retro one)? i really liked that thing, but was hoping to see some better color options on it.
