Default Looking and reading about fat bob

Good day to all

I used to be a track junky on a kawasaki until I flipped and broke both legs right arm and 2 ripps

I have been looking youtube videos and I think falling in love ❤ with fat bob 114

But no one so far is talking about lean angel

My question ❔ is me being used to lean my bike 🚲 so far down. Will I be comfy leaning fat bob ?

Many thanks

Welcome from Texas. I've never had a Fat Bob so I can't answer that question.

The Fat Bob has decent lean angle for a cruiser. It also comes with forward controls, so there's that. My heels usually touch down first. The bike is very entertaining keeping things in perspective. The bike is very stable in corners but it has no where near the capabilities of a sport bike. That is not it's intended purpose.

LEAN ANGLE, RIGHT (DEG.) 31

LEAN ANGLE, LEFT (DEG.) 32

It sounds like you may be barking up the wrong tree here.
