RE: 2008 Fat Bob

IMHO the Fat Bob needs three things,

1) Forwards controls (are there any???)
2) After market pipes
3) Slam the rear end

don't like the looks of the Fat Bob in pics.
But I'm not going to come to a full conclusion on my opinion until I get to see it in person.

I didn't like it at all when I first saw the pictures on the H-D website, but I like it a lot now, especially in Black Denim. Wouldn't mind having one. I sat on a couple at one of the dealerships, and the forward controls definitely felt better --- the mid-mount controls felt kinda cramped.

Sparky - nice lookin FBob there. Yeah, I stopped by there on the 29th when they were having their pre-moving sale. Picked up a set of clutch/break levers for only $70 (reg $150) and some stuff for the Mrs and my 3 year old daughter. Ate some free dogs too. Their new store looks like it's gonna be huge...

But yeah, saw the FBob in person and loved the look...

Where bouts do you live/ride? Somewhere near here I suspect? My daughters apt is only 5 minutes away from their old location...

Bone stock bike (which I purchased) & the one you saw.
Worked me a fairly good deal w/my Sporty trade-in.(pastNov 3)
He cranked up the FB w/the V&H pipes and man it sounded ever so sweet.

Foward Controls - yes.
After Market pipes - plenty (Check out Rush)

Slam the rearend? I"ll bet there's a way. I like it the way it is.

That dovetail rear fender kills it for me. I dunno why, but I don't like it. [/align]

RE: 2008 Fat Bob

It will be my first Harley. Cant wait .I dont even care what color.

I like the fenders . (hate big fenders)
I love the pipes (that makes this bike )
Love the two headlights

I would say it would look better lowered in the rear. Im sure it can and will be done.
