I really dig the Fat Bob. Nearly pulled the trigger on it but ultimately chose the Fat Boy.

I know that the new '18 models have caused a little bit of healthy disagreement overall, but I freaking love the new Fat Bob! Excellent choice. Have fun!

Man that white Fat Bob is making me rethink my goal of getting the denim grey. Have to see in person. Thanks for the post and the awesome blog!

Yes, I was looking for the denim gray or black as well, until I saw the white. I'm probably going to order the 2brothers or bassani road rage 3 2-1 exhaust in a month, just waiting to see if V&H comes out with options.

It truly is a "Sporster on steroids" now. I mean that as a compliment. Totally badass.

Exactly why I bought it. But dyno is happy and it is much more responsive turn/leaning wise than my roadster, plus it feels lighter despite being 100lb heavier....Really pleasant ride in comparison.

Congrats on the new Fatbob
Looks Awesome in white
Enjoy it

I presume the industrial grey denim is the hereo colour as it only availble on the 114, but all the press/demo Fatbobs at most launches where white

I think the white paint job is the pick of the bunch.
Fatbob doesnt get Twisted Cherry and there is no Sand Camo Denim
