Looking for some info on the Fat BOB. I'm close to getting one and was wondering what peoples thoughts are on this bike. Any info or suggestions would be appricated.
Very impressive bike. I wasn't too sure what I thought when I saw the first pics, but when you see it in person and sit on it, it's quite a bike. I took the first one we got in the shop (I sell bikes) for a quick spin and like I said on another thread....if I didn't like my RK so much, there'd be a Fat Bob in the garage.
have you sat on one at the dealer yet? Most people who've ridden a FatBob will tell you what a comfortable ride it is. Hard thing to find a decent looking seat w/out giving up the comfort.
Very well-balanced bike also. Classic Dyna engine shake at idle that smooths out like glass once you get goin'.
HD got it right with this bike, no doubt. You will, however come across haters of the fender and dual headlamps. A large number of these guysseem to beFat Boy owners, for some reason.
