About 6 weeks ago I moved from a SB to a Fatty. Love the Fatty and ride is exceptional. I'm sure you'll enjoy the same thing.

Probably the best thing you can do for more leg room is change out the seat. I swapped mine out for a Lepera Bare Bones. It moved me back and down a couple of inches.

Is that a photo of how your ride currently looks ? If so , Its hard to believe a bike thats almost 7 yrs old could still look so nice and stock . How many miles ? These bikes look so great when theyre stock ,it make you wonder if all the crap we do to them actually improves the look . Nice ride, good luck .
