While my extremely biased opinion would say "FAT BOY", the most sensible thing to me would be to hit a ride day, and try them both out. Then buy whichever one you prefer. You'll be the one living with the payments. YOU have to be happy with your choice. In the end our opinions don't really matter. Whichever way you go, I'm sure you'll be happy. Although I'm sure you'd be happier on a Fatty...

This is just my opinion,and i stress MY opinion,but i would go the FB. I am not a fan of the rubber mounted motor and i like the ride a softail provides.I am looking at getting a Street Glide in the future but that rubber mounted motor is a concern for me.
Obviously this is a softail forum so most will vote for the FB i suppose.But you need to ride them both and see which one gives you a bigger smile on your dial.I just prefer the look of the FB.but hey its your bike,your choice.
Good luck with it.
