I like the changes to the touring line. Although it appears the MoCo is trying their best to make it harder for us to work on our own bikes. But, to me the best of the '08's are the fat bob and the rocker. Some say ugly, but that is not what I am saying. That fat bob looks like a Exile type bike. I like it a lot. Unfortunately, the wife doesn't like it. I was looking to get her her own HD, and if she liked the Fat Bob, I would have been down at the dealer making arrangements. I would love to have that one as a second bike. [:@]But, even with the changes made to the touring line, I see no reason to get rid of my bike.

I like the Rocker C. It was love at first sight. I just don't see my wife sitting on that passenger seat.

The fatbob may be a different animal in wet weather.That short frt fender appears it will put it in your face.Cool looks first,function second.The passenger seat on the rocker looks like a rumble seat.Ive seen females that had a hard time holding on after a long day of bar hopping.This seat isnt for that type.Many roads around the US could be better.A pothole or good bump is going to put the fear of god into someone.Again time will tell.
