160hp and 120 tq @ 5000+ft, running in the mid-high 10s 1/4mile, I'm sure could run high 9s at sea level.

I'll post a cool pic if I take one.

That's the only one I got right now, and it's changed since then.

Having looked at the XL forum, the 1200 is a must, but that really seems to be the end of the line unless you're looking to get off into seriously uncharted waters. Each build there seems to be pretty much a one-off custom, which is cool, but a whole different level of commitment. Id go 1200, ride as much as you can, and then move up.

I'm definitely moving up here in a bit - more standardized options, and a bigger bike so I'm not as cramped.

Out of the two choices I would choose the Fat Bob over the fat boy because of the handling. I like to ride hard and need something that will handle it. Just my .02
