    Has anyone on here purchased a 2018 Fat bob yet? 
    Wife put down a deposit on a Red Iron denim 107 today, shes hoping off a Suzuki Gsxr like i did a few weeks ago.

    Looks all wrong to me but apparently they ride well; to each their own. I’m sure plenty of folks will love them.
    See what new lines of bikes HD bring out in the next few years...

    I think it looks good except for the mufflers pointing up, looks a bit dirt bike or plastic sports bike. Even the color of the headers is ok, if the pipes went straight back not up and mufflers looked more integrated and not bolt on aftermarket.

    I think they look a touch strange but that has never stopped me buying something before

    Just a follow up this Paz, how did the bike go?
    how much culture shock was there going from suzuki to harley?
    any insights to offer?

    I agree with hilly, definitely take 1 for a ride mate. I rode 1 and loved it, still prefer my 17 fatboy tho. My wife finally rode it a couple of days ago after being away for 6 months and i cant pull her off the damn thing, she never rode it before we took delivery of it. She just took my word that it was a great bike lol

    Fitted a set of Freedom Performance radical radius pipes to the wifes bob today. Made a huge difference to ride wife and actually sounds like a harley now.

    Does it ever get leaned over? The tyre tells a tale it may not

    Bike looks great, love the style and colour, the tail tidy looks neat, but I think the original exhausts look heaps better, they flow with the shape of the bike, they just needed to be opened up somehow to aid flow, whereas the freedoms just don't do it for me, those turned down thingys are horrible imho,
    Harley always get it right with the styling of their original exhausts, in 10 years time you will put your original pipes back on to sell it, you will stand back and think to yourself, why the fuck did I ever take those pipes off,
