I know that’s not what you asked, but I don’t think there’s any good answer. If you haven’t bought it yet, try the Low Rider...

a different shaped bar would help give you most control. Not a pull back drag bar. I found the stock bars to male the bike un turnable. However the bike handles great. But if you have a long reach like me the bars could be your problem.

My Breakout has the fat back tire and it is not a flickable bike either, even with the narrower front tire. I ride mostly country roads and I like the slow transitions. For my riding style it's perfect. But for many, even though the suspension is now excellent, it will feel sluggish in turns.
If you buy it, you'll get used to it. But you may not ever enjoy it. If quick handling is your thing, super-wide rear tires aren't.

The Fat Boy will never be the best handling bike because of its design, and the oversized tires. For me it handles fine, and powers out of the curves beautifully. It’s a rock solid bike built for effortless cruising. I’m assuming you want the 114 engine, if that’s the case, test ride a Fat Bob 114.

The Bob and the Boy are 2 totally different bikes... I cant see comparing the 2 theyre so different..
