RE: Considering Bob vs Lowrider
In all fairness I don't like either one much but I have a Bob.The lowrider is a more complete package because it comes with a back seat and passenger pegs which is a bigger deal than you might think.That flat paint on the Bob is way too fragile which is part of the reason I'm getting rid of mine, but not the only reason Basically I'm sick of spending money on it.

If it bothers you when really dumb Hottie blonde chicks with huge jugs sit on your bike and stroke the gas tank and make moaning noises during bike nite........then get the Bob.

RE: Considering Bob vs Lowrider
What made my mind up for a Low Rider is I didn't want spoke wheels and it is low enough for me to flat foot without having to mess with the shocks. Also the chrome is everywhere on it. Buttttt, I love the way a Bob looks and rides with the Mini Aps, sooooo now I have to change the bars, change the seat, and put forward contols and I will be happy. Then I can start on the pipes, air cleaner, and whatever I will have to do to get the fuel injection right. Looks like it will never end, but look at how much fun I am having. You need to make your on mind up on what you want and what you want to do with it after purchase. enjoy.....
