    I had a 07 Wide Glide.

    Don't ride a 08 or 09 FatBob, they ride better than the Wide Glide.

    I imagine that fat tire on front makes a big difference. Too bad they look like half an ATV.

    The fat tires do make a difference, simular to the earlier models of Electra Glides having 16" tires.
    The way the FatBob is setup and the way it rides, runs and handles, its a nice bike.
    It don't look like a ATV to me.

    I have ridden both the 96cu and the 110cu models.
    Everybody that rode the Fat Bob liked the bike.
    It rode better than the Wide Glide.
    Think if you rode one you would understand what I'm saying.
    The bike really rode smooth.

    jake if you think back or read way back when that fat tire was the only way they came , then in the 60's some one put a biciycle wheel on & them came the skinny front wheel

    don't ride a brembo abs bagger then jump on the dyna (or softail)

    I rode them back to back and you'd think the fatbob had no brakes whoa!

    It was a good ride though, first thing I'd do is dump the front brake for a PM 6 piston...
