Put on your glasse and look at my avatar is the only pic of me on the fxdf @ the moment. 5'10 and 185 lbs...never felt more comfortable on a bike. My longest ride last season was 18 hrs! *** was never sore and my arms never got tired. i wouldn't trade my dyna FB for any bike. (might want to own 6 or 7 but I'm on a 1 bike budget)!

The fatbob has .2" longer wheelbase than an ultra classic.

MNrider is correct with his specs. I have an Ultra and a Fat Bob and wouldn't trade either. I'm 6'3", 260 and feel comfy on both bikes. The Fat Bob is unbelivably comfortable. I've had it out all day in the local mountains and never got sore. Go for it. You won't be sorry.

I'm 5'10", 180 and the bike feels perfect. I sat on a Nightster and it felt tiny compared to the Fat Bob. It's not a small bike, it's no Road King Classic but it feels like you got a beast under you. Hate to admit this but after picking up my Fat Bob yesterday morning I rode a few miles and pulled up to a abandoned store front to check myself out in the front windows of the building. I looked very cool on the bike.

Sorry no pic's.............
Bike is by no means small take one for a spin you think again........
Im 5' 11'' and the bike fits me perfectly, the forwards are just far enough to keep my legs slightly bent, seat height is great, the pul back on the bars or risers could be back about an inch but thats me......
Go for it you be glad you did.................
