    Regarding the latest incarnation of the FXDF ...

    How different is the U.S version to ours ?

     What I ( think that I ) know ...U.S. bikes have:

    *  'high output' motors.

    * BOTH headlights operate in 'unison'.

    * higher gear ratios ( ???? )

    Aussie ( euro ? ) bikes have:

    * alarm fitted as standard.

    Anyone care to differ / add ?

     

    P.S. Getting a little agitated at the dearth of talk on the dyna forum ....

    PSS. Saw a Fat Bob yesterday with saddlebags ... F**k it looked gay ! So glad I didn't go down that path.

    Having seen a load of Fatbobs with saddlebags I can honestly say they look fine. Unless the bike you saw was bright pink, with tassles on the bar ends, I have NFI what you're on about.

    And to be clear, I don't own a fatbob and I don't have saddlebags...

    ... in relation to you having ( seemingly ) little regard, for new chums wanting to immerse themselves in the new found Utopia of all things Harley !
    You come across as 'the grinch' / the fucknuckle, in wanting to succumb the joy of new owners, like myself.

     

    Got it ?

    yeah well that gave me a bit of a chuckle mate, thanks
    "fucknuckle" that's nice, been called far worse before but your entitled to your opinion
    its cool man, I have thick skin, but you, you may have to put your leather coat on buddy
    embrace the joy of your new HD and the experience and memories it will bring to you

    you may interpret some of my posts not as they were intended, my misses often says to me that its not what I say but how I say it is what may offend some people sometimes

    Yeah ... I 'suffer the same'.
    My girl says, at times ...
    That I should be more 'aware of the feelings of those I engage'.

    I say ... F**k them ... What about me !

    I got bags on my fatbob. Its mostly because i ride big miles and need to carry shit, not just to the coffee shop for a lattee so my mates can see how cool i look.

    I have noticed the main difference between the used USA models vs Aussie versions is the general appearance is better. Pretty much all the USA imports FB's at shops I've seen in Sydney all look brand new even with a few miles on them , not sure how the yanks keep them so clean.
