    cool looking ride... like to see in flesh though... probably be even better with black 2-1 pipes and loose the chrome on the primary.... aarrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Be better with a wide glide front end. But I'd consider living with a springer if someone bought it for me.

    Fit some apes and a jockey shifter and I'd be happy with that for bar hopping.

    Shits on the Rocker. I like it. I'd buy it.

    Think I'd pull the bars back a bit though

    Talking of jizz filled names what about Harleys Bad Boy!  & the stock pipes make it look shit.

    Yeah lose the pipes for sure - and why did they chrome the primary when everything else (cept the pipes) is black?

    Looks like someone has been flicking thru old war movies and shit to come up with the design.

    I dont mind it at all, bit of bravado by HD to release something like this, even if its not everyones bottle of JD, gotta set the pace a bit to keep the metric men on their toes! Cant wait to see their response!

    I like it. By the time you put your own touch to it ($$$$$$$ she would be looking sweat

    Yes i do agree on the chrome it should be black

    Okay so I had heard that the first unit came out of the crate today so I knocked off early and headed up to Frasers.....

    Whilst I had thought the bike looked smick from photos, in real life it didn't even draw a boner  

    It is certainly different but the thinks i didn't like were:

    • single disc, single piston front brake
    • chrome spoke... would be better with black to match the rim
    • chrome primary (mentioed this from pics), plus gearbox cover etc.
    • seat is too small (and i've a small arse) and for my height the ride is too high
    • foot boards look out of place
    • mounting plate for front guard is on top of the guard and is bolted on.. looks crap and the plate has holes punched which will fill up with shit
    • whilst the bike I saw had not been detailed I think that the paint quality/finish looked poor.. (in fact if it was my bike I would be seriously asking for tank replacement).
    • air filter cover looked out of place

    The bike was Vivid Black... may look better in Black Denim

    Watched a Fat Bob being detailed for delivery in Black Denim... smick... just need to loose the pipes... hear there is a 2y waiting list

    Think you'll see me around on the Street Bob for a while longer <img src=" align="absMiddle" border="0" src="/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif" />

    I was thinking it must look better in the flesh, but sounds like it doesn't. Something is wrong with the styling, don't like the bars and the steep angle of the springer forks. Looks like it's hit a wall and pushed the front back a bit.

    Yeah the rake is pretty ugly, but so is the rest of the bike.

    It would be nice if they were keeping up with the production of all their existing models before they started dishing up these newer versions.

    I dont mind the look of it, everyone changes the pipes and bars on all their Harleys so this would be no exception. The sprung seat should be only on rigids, but I suppose if you lowered it big heaps turning it into a rigid the seat would look cool
