Default Motorcycle.com Review: 2018 Softails

Not sure if someone already posted this online review of the new 2018 Softails, but this looks a fairly well written observation and experience of the new 2018 Softails.

Good article. I did like the slider view which let you view the differences between a 17 and 18. Amazing how much it didn't change. I think too many under estimate the work that went into hiding wires and such. It really looks cleaner. Even the work in hiding that oil cooler is impressive. Its not a wart on the front of the frame like it is on my Road King. funny how no one bitched about that.

Fat Boy, never in my life did I ever want to ride one until now and in white. figure it will be a shock in the corners but it looks too sweet. heck I don't dislike any of these; if not a Fat Boy I would take a Fat Bob in a minute because of the brutal look it has

There are pro's and cons, but I just can't stop laughing when journalists blindly copy the marketing tag lines: "The (new) Fat Bob offers the most cornering clearance of all the Softails, with more than 30° lean angle on both sides" --> that was the same on the old Dyna FB's...

Glossed over the lack of fuel range now erm, not available. FB is down to a 13.6L tank and Breakout at 13.2L. Just crazy, until I read that I was totally digging the new FatBob
