Have a fat boy and a street glide. The glide is for riding. The fat boy is for short bar type rides. As my buddies say the FB is not as much fun to ride but gets all he attention when we get to a stopping point.
Both bikes are fun. I have older models, an 03 fatboy and an 05 road king. After putting an air ride in the FB, it rides incredibly comfortable.
