RE: FatBob vs. FatBoy
Man I love ALL HARLEYS and some people like one better than the other it would be boring if every one rode same bike with all the same stuff, but I like Fat Boys because I'M on my 5th one now and my wife has put her foot down so no more trade-ins or selling for a while, I guess what I'M trying to say is this bike fits like a glove! It is not a canyon carver but here it is all flat and straight and it is very stable and can be rode every where, but thats my penny on it all, and every HARLEY I see I wave and they wave back and it can do a 100mph plus but try to stay 70 or 75 to many radar cops and must be careful. GOOD LUCK! PURPLE HAZE.

can you get a fat bob with a heated seat and grips? I bet you must freeze in the great white place?

YOU ARE TOUGHER than ME!! I hate snow and ice, we may get some once or twice a year, but I was at work for AT&T spicing cable and I stepped on some ice and I fell HARD and FAST I would had passed out if it was not so cold, but I did reach out with my hand to try to stop the blow but broke 2 fingers, then the company tryed to write me up for being un-safe! Thank God for the union, but down here it will be over a 100 degrees! days at a time, so I guess know matter what, the COLD is tough and the HEAT can keep you from riding.GOOD LUCK! PURPLE HAZE.

RE: FatBob vs. FatBoy
Just from seeing the pics, the Fatbob has nothing on the Fatboy. Looks like it was thrown together with a bunch of spare parts. I prefera cleaner look like the Fatboy has.....

I think my legs would go to sleep on a long ride, thats why I like my floor boards, but if you like to ride all streached out it would be cool. PURPLE HAZE.

RE: FatBob vs. FatBoy
I think with some work, the Fat Bob would look pretty cool. I would change out the rear fender, change that hideous exhaust, put short fake shocks on itto make it a hardtail, add a bobber seat, and throw some apes on it. I think it would look pretty sweet after that. But outta the box, the Fatboy looks better. I just HATE the stock seat on the '07 Fatboys. Hopefully they were changed for '08.
