    Discisions , dicsisions , ,, be a hard one , but for me the fatboy every time , the reason why ,,, I've got short dumpy little legs and can't reach the forward controls on the fatbob ... But with saying that i have heard the fatbob handles very very well and i could modify and make it fit ,

    Sorry i'm no help

    Mate, for me the Fatboy gets it every time, but its what you like best....for mine, I would rather have something that I like the look of, than something that handles better

    Damed if ya Do; Damed if ya Dont.

    Mate, if ya want to ride without putting a lot of effort in get the Dyna.

    If ya like the looks of the Fatty then buy it.

    Just gotta remember -  in a spirited ride with others ya gonna be working harder to keep up.

    Work out the percentages of spirited rides ya might go on compared to most general rides.

    In the end you need to make the decision.

    Besides, if ya dont hurry some other person will by one of em and your decision will be forced.

     I just came from another test ride J and I made my decision. The FATBOB is mine, just loved the ride definitely got more power than a fatboy even though the one which I rode was 2011 with 96 engine ( the 2012 one is coming in January with 103 engine) but still more power through the rev range and more balanced bike as well.

     

    My wife loved the look of fatboy but she let me to decide ;) and I loved the Fatbob aggressive look.

     

    Just want to thank you guys for your support and quick responds and advices.
