If you sell, it'll be your biggest regret ever. Especially if it is paid and costing you little to nothing to keep. I'm just saying. If you have really decided that you don't want a fatty anymore, then sell because you'll be able to replace it with a bike you will love. But, the bobber should just be a side hobby IMO.

Don't ride the bobber in the rain unless you're totally sealed up like a condom

As others have stated;

Keep your Fatboy, build a bobber.

I would want the real deal. Not a Sears & Roebuck special, in
other words, not built from the CCI catalog with an all S&S motor.
Find an OLD Pan or Shovel, put that in an early wishbone frame,
etc etc. A kicker, a 4 sp, open belt & so on (the real deal)

I like the bobber too but there's no way in hell I'd trade that fatboy for it.

That's the wrong bobber... build this one... and the spokes on your bike are too fat, so I would definitely get rid of an otherwise perfect bike... sure... go for it.
