I never had a liking for the fat bob they look heavy and odd.To each his own though. If a NT is uncomfy they make diffrent bars, but for my hunchback they work great

if i was buying a brand new bike right now i'd definitely look at both of these bikes. i like the fatbob, its different, and in a good way. and its pretty much the only stock exhaust i like the looks of. but overall i like the NT, but i have one, so i am a little biased

UNACCEPTABLE! I'd get Lasik surgery and then a Harley.

The comparison doesn't make any sense to me.

If I was interested in a Night Train, I would look at the Dyna Wide Glide.

If I was interested in the Dyna Fat Bob, I would look at the Fat Boy.

My neighbor and his buddy pulled up riding an Anniversary Wide Glide and a Night Train. I wouldn't have thought to compare these two, but except of aslightly wider stance, they looked pretty darn close parked side by side.Also, I read somewhere that the concept for the Softail Custom was based on the W/G. Makes sence and kinda explains the above.
For some reason I'am attracted to the Fat Bob and I normally don't go for that kind of bike. I read that you can order these with either mid or foward controls which makes them very versatile. Supposedly, Harley is going to offer this option on more of it's models.

Yeah, I've seen the Fat Bob with the forward controls and it does give it a nice look...and I agree, they should be available as option on more models...
