Looked at the Fat Bob , but bought the slim bc I dig the look.
Wanted something to replace the look of my 48 I traded.
Almost pulled the trigger on the Fat Bob, however on test rides it shook more the my 48 at all speeds under 70

As well as the Softail frame vs the Dyna frame
Night and Day
Btw , yes the "B" motor on the heritage and Slim are almost metric smooth ----
My bad. I had a business pard that had a wrecked Herry he converted into a fat bob, and I was thinkin' of that - b motor, yes.
Now I wanna ride a 'bob and see what the fuss is about. I sure love the wheels from them. No more broken spokes, or tubes!

I wish I had taken more off the nose in front though, and cut away for the thighs more, so I can get closer to the tank when
I'm doing cone work practice. for some, that would also help feets to reach the ground, but my bike is raised, not slammed.
Only the seat.

Do you have a slim ? (I should know by now , but these old eyes are going)
Heritage with Fatboy wheels and RK bags now. 2" over forks and tins, DS rear tire (1/2" lift) and 7/8" slugs over the extended springs plus slightly thicker oil.
Sorta a kind of cruiser crotch rocket, but hey, with the cams, this thing is FREEKY FUN ta ride!
BTW, the "2 over" fork legs measure EXACTLY 1-1/2" longer than stock. You'd think it was lumber, right?
