Anyone own a new Fatbob yet? I'm pondering one, looking for real reviews.

I've got one on order - but not delivered so can't help you.

But there's a few reviews on here from recent Fat Bob owners if you scroll down a bit or search. Also try the Dyna sub forum.

Cool, but I was hoping for a bit more detail!

That's the color I'm leaning towards.

Just turned over 3000 miles yesterday on my FXFBS. Still smiling but waiting for my 2 Bros exhaust. I need louder pipes so I can know that it is still running at speeds above 70. At 70 there is no vibration just a bit of wind noise! LOL
