Hi I'm Tom and just joined but not new to Harley's but my 2012 Sb has a 19 inch front wheel, and 17 back and does have holes for 2 up seat. None for sissy bar but I like my SB this is my 2nd one. It's all PO as to what you like.,

Get the FAT BOB.

Not the Street SLOB.

FAT BOB = BEST MOTORCYCLE IN THE WORLD!

Street SLOB = SLOB

FAT BOB = LOTS OF HOT WOMAN WHO WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOU.

Street SLOB = LOTS OF GAY MEN WHO WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOU.

FAT BOB = More comfortable ride

Street SLOB = You could be riding and any moment your bike could just EXPLODE.

FAT BOB = WINS!

I love my Fat Bob, especially since I've got more comfortable bars on it. I got it because I was torn between a dyna and a bagger, and the FB had the bigger look, while keeping the handling of the Dyna. Cant believe how comfortable it is, but I moved up from a 92 sporty haha

I've wanted a Fat Bob since they came out. So happy I found a deal on a left over 13.

The Street Bob to me feels a bit too much like a me too bike. Just like the Street Glide. Everyone wants one and they all want it in black.

Wow! Wasn't even going to post here....But shouldn't FAT and SLOB go together? I don't want gay men checking me out. Just kidding as I'm sure you were. Love the front end of the Fat Bob. I think I could do something with the rear fender.....Annapolisfatbob has a sick looking FB. Just saying.

Yes I want a Street Glide in addition to my SB. And it will be denim black just like all the bikes I have owned. And unfortunately I can't seem to find a bike that no one else has bought before. But I have welders, torches and tools to make it different!

Most difference is the looks...

Street bob is the chopper look.

Fat bob is the power cruiser/street fighter look.

Fat bob is 50lbs heavier but has better brakes.

Fat bob has mags sb has spokes.



Same rakes but the sb has offset wheel sizes lending the chopper look but less adept to corner carving.

Street bob about an inch lower at the saddle.
