All three are great!

Wide Glide: love it, except I prefer fat front tires.

Street Bob: Nice, but not as cool as the Wide Glide

Fat Boy: Please don't flame. I love the classic Softail look, I own a FatBoy, and it is a simply wonderful machine.

FATBOB is the machine you really want.

Tough decision. Depends on what you want out of your bike. You'll get better handling out of the street bob and wide glide. If handling isn't a concern, then fat boy.

Honestly though.. you'll be happy with any choice. All 3 are badass bikes.

Street bob vs wide glide is entirely a personal style choice IMO.

Fat boy? no. Dynas are #1.

yeah Sucks that they didnt put the 103" in the Street BOBs that was stupid, but i guess to keep the price down but damn they would have sold alot of units. IF it is down to WG or Fat Boy then WG all the way man those are really slick and with a Dyna you cant go wrong
