Fat Bob Prototype

Thought a few of you that didn't make it to the 105th might be interested in seeing these pics. There were taken at the Discovery World in Milwaukee. There was a display of a bunch of prototype bikes... Fat Bob, Nightster, Cross Bones, Nightster, Rocker, V-Rod Muscle, etc.

The most interesting thing I noticed on the Fat Bob was the writing on the side of the tank. It says "Logo Approved" and 3-15-04. It took another 3 years to release the Fat Bob!?!?

Thanks for the pictures. I saved them. Do you mind I use them or send them to others in the future?

Kind of makes you wonder why there are still things that go wrong, when it takes 3-5 years to release a new model, huh...

Sure does... based on the info on the display behind the bike, it seems like they spent some time developing the tires and resolving issues with the dual headlights.
