seriously though, you should just ask yourself what you would like out of a bike then choose based on your likes/dislikes/needs. Also helps to go down to the dealer and sit on both, see how they feel to you.

As several have said, it all boils down to what your preferences are. You've got a fat front tire on your other bike (touring) ... and you know what the narrower front tire feels like to ride. If you want the fat front and dual brakes, that argues in favor of the Fat Bob.
If you like the classic Super Glide look, but chromed up a little, the Custom it is ....
On the other hand, if you like mini apes and chopped rear, maybe you should think of the Street Bob ...
Almost any of 'em can be made to look like another with the time and additional resources put into it ....
Most guys (and gals) on here have not been satisfied to leave well enough alone ... so, if you're thinking of going in one direction or another, start with the one that will take the least 'investment' to get it to where you want to end up.
That said, it's almost inevitable you'll change your mind along the way and discard a perfectly good set of handlebars or pipes--like several on here have done!
Just take a ride and whichever strikes your fancy, pull the trigger ... if you change your mind, there's always another bike out there looking for a buyer. Now that I think of it, look at low miles second hand bikes that have some of the things you want to do.
Good luck and let us know what you decide ... and post some photos.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The reason for trading the Nightster to a Dyna is longer range with some comfort, the Nightster is very painful on teh *** after 200 miles, which dyna is more comfortable? They both look equally cool to me.
