    test ride impossible now. I need some opinions from previous owners or people have tested riding those. 
    Softail Street bob or Slim? 

    Why you prefer one over another? What made you pull the trigger on one or kill the other? 

    By watching youtube reviews, I did find that there are more "wow" moment on Street Bob. 

    many thx.

    Slim has decent size fuel tank.

    I picked the Street Bob because I'm not a fan of the fat front tyre. Purely on aesthetics. Other notable differences are like Ross said, the Slim tank is bigger and has traditional gauges on the tank. Bob is more blacked out and stripped back.

    Yes. 
    All current softails have 12.6" rear shock except for the Fat Bob and Heritage which have a slightly taller 13.1" 
    Fat Bob, Fat Boy, Breakout and Sport Glide also have the remote preload adjustment
