Just wanted to stop in and say hey. I ordered my first Harley yesterday. A '13 Candy Orange Fat Bob. I can't wait to get it and get back to riding! It's only been 8-9 months since I last rode but wow. Seems like an eternity ago!

I still haven't figured out why its called an "orange". It's almost more of a bronze or a copper. I guess in the sunlight it does look like an orange but other than that, it's way darker than an orange. That's why I like it. I have yet to see a Candy Orange bike out on the road. I'll stand out! And there will definitely be pictures to follow. Lots of them. How are you guys liking yours so far? Any quirks about them? I fell in love with it when I test rode it but it was only for 15-20 minutes so no long term usage of it obviously.

The only "quirk" I found was a rear wheel wobble when cornering hard. Long story short, installed the True Track stabilizers and no more wobbles. I would not worry about it too much unless you start to feel it, some dyna riders say they corner hard too but never have the wobble.

Wow! Only the second Candy Orange Dynamic I've seen on the forum. My Street Bob is 2013 Candy Orange and I love it. Congrats on the new bike!

PS. Candy Orange looks red in a lot of pictures. It's really hard to get a shot that represents the true color. Expect a lot of "...love the red." Once you start posting pics.
