Default Johnny new guy
Hi all!

New here. I dont have a bike yet but I'm pretty certain I'm gonna snag an 04 Fat Boy.

I have fallin in love with it and I hope that soon she will be mine.

I am not a regular bike guy but I intend on it. I dont really know much about Harleys at all.

My question is this, I am 6'2" 220 and I dont think I look stupid on a Softail Fat boy but are there any other Harleys out there that are longer? The Fat Boy I'm looking at has front foot rest's so that should help but I wonder if there is somthing I dont know.

Thanx all!

Jeff
