Default Are Street Bob's to small??

Out for a ride and caught a sideways glance (on a window) of me on my bike. Now I am not a big guy, mabye a little out of shape but at 6 feet and 224 I looked huge on my bike. Never noticed before but man to me it didn't look right. Are dynas considered a small bike...fast yes but small??

Compared to what?
Do you enjoy ridin' what you're riddin'?

Which do you perfer more... lookin' purdy... or going fast?

This guy likes ridin' his Dyna... sure, he knows he needs to lose some weight... but not when he's riding.

Stop looking at yourself in mirrors while riding.

It's an 07', so I assume you've put at leat 2 or 3 thousand miles on her. How does it feel?

You'd look a little silly on an XL with a peanut tank maybe, but a Dyna?

I am 6-2, 220 lbs, and just picked up a 2009 Dyna FXDC. I put forward controls on it and let me tell you: it's sweet! Especially when you get her in
6th gear....hey, they don't call it Super Glide for nothing!!!! I tried the Street Bob and it is a great bike, too. I just found the FXDC with forward controls were perfect for my frame and my longer legs.

quit looking in the windows as you go by! Are you happy with the bike? If so, it's just the right size!
