Sorry guys, to those that like this, good for you but to me it looks like a Victory with its nose cut off and it's *** hacked off. I won't even look at this if I see it on the floor at a showroom. Its horrible.

YUP, i saw it and there was to much on it i don't like. only thing fat boy that i saw was the tank. even the bars are funky. even though my lo is a little different, it still represents the tradition of the iconic classic bike. not this . the fay boy is a cruiser, not supposed to be a rocket muscle bike and harley should be ashamed of themselves for desecrating a masterpiece.

Not a clone but style-wise, that's the way it comes off to me. That said, I never pay any attention to Victory and now, I never have to. Hopefully for the MoCo, this abomination doesn't end up with similar results from potential customers.

Buddy, you should stay clear of bike shops. You have no self control!
