Super Glide Vs. Fat Bob
Im just looking for advice on purchasing a used bike. There are two bikes I have my eye on a 06 Superglide with 950 mile and a 09 Fat Bob with 4200 miles on it. I like both bikes but would have to modify both a little to fit me. They is a $3000 price difference but that isnt an issue.
What do you think?
Which bike is better?
Which would you buy?

Bigger engine on the Fatbob. The engine capacity was increased in 2007 for the Dyna line from 88ci to 96ci, if that is important to you.
I agree with nightbobber08 with getting the one that has the most "me" in it stock. I always tell people to get the bike that makes them smile the widest. That is all that really matters in my opinion.
Cheers,
Tom

Fat bob without a doubt. Not to say the super glide isn't a nice bike, but I'd rather have a bike that has a bit more miles and is newer then get an older bike that was only 900 miles and is 4 years old. Who knows how long it sits at a time.

Never ridin a super glide, but having ridin sport bikes for 10 years and being a motor officer on KZ1000's and Road Kings, the Fat Bob is one the best handling street bikes I have ever ridden. Ultimately, like everyone else has said, it comes down to which one fits you the best and looks the best to you.
