I think everyone had legit reasons for leaning towards the bob but you have to be happy. Have fun.

Of course. All the reasons for the bob are/were legit. I woulda loved to get one. Finances were scarce though. I'm happy with what I got. Can't stop riding it!

Looks like a real nice ride, you did good. Check out the below links that FXD2003Rider posted from the "how to under fifty bucks" thread that Mud started. It is a sticky thread at the top of the Dyna section.

Drove my old bike 100 miles to do a partial trade on the low rider, and wow. So much more comfortable, handled a bit better and huge power difference! Cruising at 65 was easy as cake! Didn't feel the need for another gear as I did with my Vulcan.

All in all I'm pretty stoked about it. Gonna go for another spin!

Thanks all for the info!

Congrats! Quite a great looking bike!
