Isn't it? Opening this thread is sort of like watching a horror flick for the first time on DVD, pausing it for a popcorn/bathroom break, then coming back to the movie. It's a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.....

Unfortunately, eventually you'll peek out to see what's happening. Then he's got you.

At least Sporty people aren't ashamed to say what they ride.

He apparently rides a Softail. Don't know which one, but that is what he's stated before. Before that was a wide glide.

It's the only Fatboy (EVERRRRR) that doesn't steer like every other two-wheeled cycle on the planet.

At least, that's what he told me I should try, before reporting back - and that I should use the STOCK handlebars.

Well, I guess this should also include my report, too . . . . .

MikerR1,
I've ridden several Fatboys - they all steered just like my Deuce. In fact, they steered just like every other bike that I've ever ridden! Since FOREVERRRR. . . . .

Hope this helps, NOT.
