Considering Bob vs Lowrider
Do you have any opinions on the bob vs. lowrider. Specs, etc look the same to me. Anyone with riding comments comparing the two? Am interested in one, sitting on both felt great! Advise, please.

RE: Considering Bob vs Lowrider
I have a Low Rider. The bikes are very similar... both have a 19" front, both have mid controls, etc.
As mentioned, more chrome on the Low. The other big feature (for me) is the dash mounted tachometer in the tank of the Low.
Most people change out bars, seat, exhaust anyway, so those differences are not really decision makers.
I don't think you could tell much difference in the ride between the two. It's all cosmetic preference.

I got a 07 street bob with the cobalt pearl blue....I'll be gettin a sundowner seat for longer trips.the stock is ok for couple hours then it starts hurtin...the blue paint looks nice with part chrome and blacked out plus you save an hour or so of cleaning with the black part.....
I also got forward controls....makes a big difference..
Its all on your on taste....I might add the tach gauge to mine....but i chose mine on the way it looked...

RE: Considering Bob vs Lowrider
My preference is the Low Rider. Too much black, is just too much black for me. I now run a 21 inch wheel on front which I like better than the 19.
The tach on the dash suits me just fine also. I guess the LR is a bit more money (?) but worth it in my opinion.......pg

RE: Considering Bob vs Lowrider
WOW this could get UGLY with all the Bob stuff going on LOL Really like it's been said they are both fine bikes any dyna is I Like the chrome and the little extra rake of the low but as far as the ride goes they should be VERY close. Try to get a test ride on both or rent one of each of them for a day and that seems like it would make up your mind.. Good luck and let us know what you picked..
