The Fat Bob rides great, I love mine. Its my third harley and I intend on keeping this one in the stable even if I bring another harley home someday. As far as performance goes, if you are worried about what a bike does in the 1/4 mile stay with a metric. No disprespect intended.

While I don't like the sentiment, I wont argue with it.

Don't think you're gonna get that with the 96" and a set of cams.... If you are sticking with 96cubes, you're gonna need cams, headwork, better intake, exhaust and a tuner, as well as lower end work.
