I wasn't there of course, but I think you could take that comment not as an insult, but just a comment on the fact that the Fat Bob has some unique features as opposed to the multi-fit nature of most other HDs. But I will say I don't agree with that since there is a ton of stuff in the accessory catalog for the FXDF. If anything, the VROD gets the least amount of love from HD, in America anyway.

Speaking on parts people.I went into Bruce Rossmier's and ask about a speedo.The OEM 29008-90AOEM 29008-90Aguy asked if i was sure it was a harley part. I said " NO IT'S A HONDA JACKASS." The whole dyna line is the red headed step-child. Because of all the weekend upper class harley crowd ride the softail

Totally off topic, but...
Some friends of ours had a red headed child. Growing up she was awkward, a book worm and the red hair just made it worse. As time went on, I would look at her, then look at her mom and could make the leap to see what was coming. I used to tell my oldest son he needed to look past what he was seeing right then, but he never could. For a couple of years I kept telling him he was making a mistake not asking her out.
Well, she grew up. We visited her at college a while back and the awkward book worm had changed even more than I thought. She was absolutely drop dead, cause a traffic accident gorgeus. And I am talking 1 in 10,000 good looks. Movie star looks, I couldn't stop staring looks... I went home and told my son and he admitted he had kept in contact with her and that I was right. The problem was now she is on the opposite coast.
I know, this has nothing to do with a dyna, but sometime being a red headed step child works!!!

I don't think his comment was really anything to be offended by, he was just cracking a joke. If anything, the Deuce is more of a bastard bike than anything in the dyna line-up, isn't it? Maybe the rocker, I don't see much stuff for that thing.

I agree. It is just silly that it is my fault that he can not get parts in stock. It would be like me whining that I can not find parts in stock for my 95 Sporster because of all the Ultra owners.
