Default FatBob vs. FatBoy
so, is it true, that the new FatBob is just a much improved, better lookingFatBoy? - better shocks, stock or aftermarket, more lean angle and ground clearance, bigger forks, more lighting, ...just wondering...

One's a Dyna, the others a softail. One has bobbed fenders one doesn't. They seem very different to me.

Different Strokes for different Folks! I just compared the two on HARLEYS web site, but they where 08's, but I see some things I like on a Fat Bob, I guess they would be a better entrey level because the FAT BOY cost more, but it has more to, softail, larger tires, and larger front forks, its like if I have to explain you still want get it, I like Fat Boys, they have a look that no one can copy, my penny on the two. PURPLE HAZE.

niceair cleaner, PH,
I was thinking for my next bike (currently Street Bob, coming from KLR650, and befor ethat a few others), FatBoy might be a good choice - that, or the E-glide.

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

I looked at the 08 fat bob now I see the beauty of a FAT BOY 103 air cleaner used on it, they do have good taste!
