What are your thoughts on the smaller Tank? Any regrets? Knowing what you know now, would you choose another model? I’m about to sign the papers next week for a street bob, vivid black w/abs and figured I would ask before it’s too late.

Yea I'd do the same again , definitely.
What I wouldn't do is work super hard and play even harder in my younger days so I had a back that was in good nick and not be in pain all day every day and stop me from working and riding.
Love this little bike just never get to ride it.

Perfectly fine with it. Get over 50 mpg with it so I need to stop to pee anyway from 120 to 150 miles. Works out. Wait until you are in your upper 70's and see how often you need to stop.

no problem here, i got around 180 miles per tank with my 14 fat bob, and this one 150-160, not much difference.

I'm getting about 150-160 miles per tank on my 18 Fat Bob. Not an issue for me at all.

M8, are the mirrors on your FatBob aftermarket? They look like they stick out an inch or so further than mine, which would be ideal.

They are HD long stem mirrors. They come in chrome or black. I can see much better now but still not unobstructed by my shoulders and arms.
