Dress her right and she will be comfortable. I put 1200+ miles on mine on a 3 day weekend.

The 54619-08 rear shocks are what comes stock on the Fat Bob. Forum members sell them all the time for $75-$100. Much better than the $400 your local dealer will want. I put them on my Street Bob (the red and white thing in the sig picture) and could not be happier. My Street Bob is more comfortable than my Electra Glide, as long as it is a solo trip.
