Default 103B is a good engine

I must say that I am extremely pleased with the balanced engine on my fatboy. I know lots of guys my age who are riding Road Kings and love their bikes, but the 103B on this fatboy is a very good ride.

Quite frankly I am surprised that the Fatboy model isn't the leading seller for HD. Even the stock seat on the '12 Fatboy is excellent. Oh, and then there is that great looking 200mm fat tire.

Now if my wife only liked bikes. (she doesn't)

Mine neither. Happy that you're happy with your choice. I rode a buddies Low Rider and couldn't believe the amount of vibration.

The b engine is one of the main reasons why I wouldn't get any other Harley but a softail. The wife loves the smooth engine and the only other engine I'm interested in is the vrod engine.

I think it is the leading seller in the Softail line (if you lump the FB and FB LO together).

I just bought a 2013 Heritage with the 103 counter and I must say it's very smooth.

Absolutely agree on every point.

I think most of us are surprised that the model we ride isn't the leading seller!!!
