That....and a springer front end..eh!
Always a fan of a Springer, but in this case no. I do think if you like the style bikes Exile does, which I do, this new "slim" is a perfect starting point. It already kind of leans that way. I do think the bars suck though. Like I said, I like it. Not enough to trade my Crossbones for it, but I like it more than the blackline in stock form.
If you look at the 72 on the HD page, go to the photos, video and 360 link, there is a black one that they did some work to, it is pretty sweet too...

you know if they wanted to market a bobber than make one, this crap they are trying to pass off is just not right. I would think a springer ft and a peanut tank and a better looking rear fender and a spring seat and then they would have something to talk about IMO

It's funny that people think this is a bargain bin parts rehash bike but like the 72. Come on the 72 is a bigger front tire and different handlebars. Come on
I didn't notice the small rear tire on this thing at first. But now it's like a train wreck I can't take my eyes off it. Fatboy still looks way better.
