Fat Bobq
I am considering ordering an 08 Red Fat Bob.(if i can get over the big front tire) I was just wondering if anyone else is considering this. Right now i have an XL50 and im thinking of putting a custom paint set (red flames) or just ordering a new bike...It would cost me 2000 for the paint set, plus another 500 for forward controls...so i dont know what to do...sorry for the rambling....thanks...

NO - absolutely no one is considering bying a fat bob - you're the first one. So - since no one else is considering it - then maybe you shouldn't either???
How can someone on this forum tell you what to do????

That said, I'm looking forward to seeing and riding a Fat Bob. My dealer will have one in next week. I like the idea of the fat tires. Logic says they should make for a smoother ride. The thing I'm wondering about is how much additional heat is going to come out of those slots on the heat shield for the rear cylinder? As I have no intention of changing out anything (exhaust, intake, etc.) on my next bike, this could be a deal killer.

RE: Fat Bobq
Have the motorcycle mags written anything about the bike? What did they say about it? The front tire should make a difference in the ride. I just hate the headlight, but that is easily chaged. Do what is right for you.
