The Fat Bob is much cooler looking than the dated Fat Boy.[sm=pimp.gif]
The Fat Boy is not dated, It's OLD SCHOOL.

Wow,if the moco didnt come out with anything new maybe there wouldnt be any major american motorcycle co's left. Its not a novel idea that businesses that dont change with the times go the way of the do-do.

for those who hate change, my friend Spyder's 1975 Dresser,(220,000 plus miles) he is 64, and rides nearly every day, and smokes about 5 rear tires a year...

Harley has gone years without making any major changes in the past and you guys are whining about the 2 that they came out with this year........this ain't the car business kiddies, if they changed things every year, they'd be out of business. There's a reasona 2008Electra Glide looks simliar to a 1972..............because it works.....and every once in awhile they throw in something new, some like the changes, others don't. It's amazing how Harley lasted so long before the internet and all you experts came along[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

Not arguing the point that tons of FatBoys are sold, but the design has basically been around for quite a while. This is what I meant by being dated.

I like the FatBob, it has all the latest trends in styling. If I were a little, (OK, a lot younger), I would consider geting one. A local mag, Cycle Source, is full of bikes built with the same styling cues.

As for the Rocker, here is a picture of a custom built Dyna with an interesting rear seat. Tell the Forum member what you think of his seat compared to the Rocker!!!
