fxd = superglide?
fxdb = streetbob
fld = switchback
what about fxdwg??...why did you leave the wideglide out? because it doesn't start with the letter "s" (I'm just being silly)

obviously I own a bob so I'm a fan of the bobs...with that said, in '09 the the wideglides were not out, I probably would've gone with a wideglide had they been available then. The extra torque of the 103 is really nice as well and I'm not sure why Harley didn't add it to the Bob's. Just don't tell my bob I might have chosen a different steel horse. I don't want her having issues and buck me off.

FXDB all day night and year.

I'm not a fan of the WG style or rake, and not a fan of the FLD.

I think you may see a trend in people's responses.

If I had it all to do over I'd get either an FLD or what I went into the Harley shop for in the first place an Electraglide standard.But back then there was no FLD and the Street Bob was the new thing.Since then my "bobber" is slowly morphing into something closer to an FLD than anything else.As the FLD owners start customizing or crashing these things I hope to pick up a few FLD take offs.Like the stock handle bars, rear fender,floor boards, hell I even like the mag wheels everyone complains about.
