Fat BOB?

Anybody ridden that new CVO Fat Bob? I'm very interested in adding that bad boy to the stable. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yup I tested one two weeks ago only cause I know the owner of the shop.. it was the its Black Diamond / Fire Quartz, it was nice I personally did not dig the Black Fang Wheels and all the chrome to much for me. The 110" was OK honestly it felt powerful but I was going from the 96" to that.. My old chop had a S&S 100 and I would say the 110 felt the same.. All in all unless you are a SCreamin Eagle junkie I am not impressed that why I went with the stock Fatbob in Black Denim and over the winter I will blow the motor out and be well under that $28,900.00....... Oh one thing the screamin eagle seat in that FatBob is the most comfortable seat ever its got a really high back and you sink into its perfect plus the Alcantra is NICE... That is the only thing I was impressed with..

IMO, it is the ugliest SE bike ever put out. The wheels are a joke, that chin spoiler is hideous. The seat and paint are nice. The SE Springer on the other hand, now that is a gorgeous bike.

Totally agree.
If I was interested in a Fat Bob, I wouldn't even consider the SE version. They just don't come off right. IMHO the regular Fat Bobs look a lot better.
