Funny thing about the Harley comments for me is. When I had a Yamaha 15 yrs ago not one Harley rider ever come over to tell me why his bike is better. Now that I ride a Harley I get it all the time from strangers even at a gas station telling me why there brand or bike is better. Best part about it is they are usually in there car.

I really like the headlights. My brother hates them, says it looks like a minion. I changed the icon on all of our streaming accounts to a minion just to spite him.

The duel headlights were a huge selling point for me when I got my fatbob. I absolutely love them, and they're amazing at night, they really reach down into the ditches better than a single light. I never fail to get people complimenting the duel lights. Its also cool to spot another fatbob easily.

I’m 21 and just bought my first Harley a week ago! a 2017 FatBob 103 with a stage 1 and I’m in love with it. It’s something I highly doubt I’m gonna sell. It’s an amazing machine!

I have a stage 1 on my 103 17 Fat Bob. I have a friend with a 124 on his Street Glide. We drag raced last weekend and I won all three races. Not by much, but I pulled on him about 1 mph faster each time. It was awesome!

I have a 2016 FatBob, and I love it. It's a great all-arounder bike. It has character, especially if you throw some slip-ons or a full exhaust system. It vibrates at idle, has torque in spades, actually has some ground clearance and combined with a decent suspension setup, has surprisingly good handling. It's a bike that I can throw in in a twisty mountain road, it's one I can ride on for 8 hours straight (with a windshield), and the Twin Cam 103 is a very charismatic engine that's a blast. The only thing I don't like about it is the price, but price aside, it's phenomenal. That, and it sucks in the city - long gears, heavy clutch, and fuel economy tanks; I get less than 30MPG in the city, which is worse than my car, but 45 hwy blasting 100MPH. It's definitely a beast.

I have a 2010 I bought new in 2011 and bought it because it was the only bike that didn't look like an old Harley. Wasn't really looking to buy an HD but all the J bikes were producing V-twins styled like electra glides from way back. Not what I wanted! Ended up buying a Harley to get something that didn't look so much like a Harley. No complaints about handling or style. The f'n "tommy gun" exhaust fell off after a rough road but got that fixed. Seems to be one of the least respected HD bikes but I can't complain after 60,000 miles.

Absolutely love my 2015 Fat Bob! I've seen some where they switch out the dual headlight for a single LED and I'm not a fan, it makes it just another bike.

I had an 09. I'm 6'2" and felt like I was leaning forward too much. I put 14" apes with 2" risers and was very comfortable. Took a lot of long trips on it.

Bought a 2008 Fat Bob , this video helped me on my decision. Love the bike. Fast enough, comfortable, and I have bags to carry stuff.

I know this is an old video. I have a 2012 Fat Bob, and I really prefer that model's styling over the 2014-2017. More of a classic Harley rear fender/taillight set up. I didn't like the dual headlights at first, but they've grown on me. Especially at night.

It's my favorite big twin. I actually loved the Fat Bob from the very first version.

From the moment where you started dissing the looks of the bike, all I was thinking was "This guy better be f*cking kidding. No, this better be a damn joke." PS: The dual headlights look badass as hell

I have a '15 Fatbob and I love it! I looked for a long time and rode every possible bike. This was my choice and I do not regret it.

Anyone who hates this bike, doesn't have one.

I have a 2016 fatbob and I think it is one of the most comfortable bikes I have been on. The duel headlights and taillights are different but that's why you own a Harley to stand out from the crowd and do your own thing.

Now the front light is completely led. So I guess you can change them now..

I bought a 2014 Fat Bob, and it's stupid comfortable to ride. I am switching to the three light set up touring bikes have. I'm 41 and grew up with Harleys, Dad and Mom ride, I love the Street and Fat Bobs.

I like the dual headlights. It triggers others. The 2018 Fat Bob's "Bender Eye" is even better!

I'm 20 and have a 2009 fat bob. Mine has the bobtail fender, and I just tossed a street bob headlight on it. I get all the perks of the best dyna and it looks amazing.

I don't get how people don't like this styling and I'm almost 55 years old. The vrod, I understood, but this is your basic Harley with some cool modern styling touches. I actually like this one better than the new ones!!!

I bought a 2010 Dyna Fat Bob in April this year (2022), this was the first video I watched to see what I was getting myself into. Now I watch this video for nostalgia purposes, and I’m also an avid viewer of Bikes and Beards. P.S. The WLA is looking good! I just wish you and Craig would hurry up and build the darn thing…

I test rode every Dyna before I bought my ‘13 Fat Bob. By far my favorite. Hence why I bought one! Definitely my favorite looking one too. Love the dual headlights and the fat tires. 130 on the front. 180 on the rear. Mines a Stage 1 bike now. Arlen Ness air cleaner. SCT tune. And custom pipes. Still using factory head pipes though, so I’m missing out on some power but running a gutted converter. But. I have 16xxx miles on it. No regrets. At all. Replaced the factory Dunlops with Avon Cobras. Let me tell you. Sticks like glue through the turns. I came from a sportbike and my Fat Bob handles JUST as well as the sportbike! It is, by far, the most underrated bike in all of Harley’s lineup. So glad I got the last of the good ones. Hate the styling revision of ‘14. That rear fender and taillight are HIDEOUS. And. I got mine in Candy Orange. Talk about standing out in a sea of bikes. 1) dual headlights. 2) Candy Orange. Not only do I hardly ever see another Fat Bob, I’ve NEVER seen another one on the road in Candy Orange. Fan for life. And the new ones. Test rode one last week. NOT a fan!

I get compliments on my 2015 Fat Bob all...the...time! People roll down their windows at stop lights and tell me how great it is. An old dude told me he wishes they had bikes like mine when he was young. People stop outside the store to talk to me. Gas station attendants come out to see it. The only complaint I had, when I got it, was the riding position. I hate drag bars with forward controls. I'm not a sandwich. Put pull-backs on it. It makes for a more leaned back look and a nicer riding position.

I just got a '13 and I love it. Just need different bars. What would you recommend? I'm 6'2" and getting a sore neck after about 20 miles. Please help and send links

I’ve had my 2015 Fatbob for 2 years and it’s the best bike I have ever owned. Power,handling and comfort 👍🏻ps love the bike vids .... keep up the good work ✌️

Headlights are a easy $100 change. Those big beefy tires do a fantastic job of helping soak up road imperfections. As does the fantastic suspension on the FB. Not sure how much difference there is between the 2008 FB I test rode and your 2014 model, But the 2008 I rode had a very *GOOD* ride quality to it.

The new fat bobs are beautiful, even down to the headlights

I had a 2010. I bought it with 130 miles on it. It took some time to get used to the lights, but I still wanted to change it to a single light somehow. The front tire on the 2010 wasn’t as wide as this one. The only thing I couldn’t get used to was it was touchy. Sometimes it would start and sometimes it wouldn’t. It was in the shop for the issue multiple times, but never got fixed properly. It ruined my riding experience because of fear of breaking down whenever it wanted. So it mostly sat at my house or in the shop. I had the bike for 5 years and it only had 5,400 miles on it when I sold it.

Love my 2010 Fatbob. Super comfy for a tallish chubby guy like myself.

As a young guy I must say that I love the look of the 2018 model Fat Bob. I got the chance to drive it a month ago at a show. And I really liked it. Though I really miss the 2017 dyna low rider S. It was the first Harley I ever tried, and fell in love with.

I rode a Triumph Thunderbird Storm which, except for the engine, was almost identical to the Fat Bob and I loved it. Dual headlights are very retro (1930s retro) and make the bike more visible to others.

The Fat Bob was cool RIP Dyna but the new '18s are so ugly.

"Look at those horrible dual headlights!" *Shows front wheel instead*

Added a fairing from Memphis Shades to my 2008 FB and the dual headlights look bitchen! Changed the look completely for the better, and I appreciate the ride even more now. Also added forward controls and love it!

I love the Fat bob too

I just got me 08 fat bob and I love it. I have very limited experience with motorcycle because this is my first bike, but I love how they handle and it feels light to me, so it is not scary to do slow speed maneuvering in parking lots.

i have a 2011 that i bought 10 years ago, love it, the best thing you can do is get rid of the stock exhaust. it cooks your leg, no sound.

Matt Laidlaw said the exact same thing about this Harley. It's also recommended for tall people!

My first bike (at 40) is a 2014 Fat Bob Dyna. I love it. I’m 5’8”, 230 lbs, and also have a RKC but the Dyna Fat Bob is nimble, aggressive and sits comfortably. A little bumpy compared to others in its weight class nowadays but I feel like a post-apocalyptic warrior on that thing. It’s a great machine. Don’t fear the Fat Bob, even as a new rider.

I picked up a 10 fat bob. I really love the dual headlights. You buy dual led headlights for it. You can literally light up the heavens w them lol. Good vid

I love the duel headlights. I prefer the bobtail rear of the earlier ones.

If I got one of these the only thing I’d change would be the headlights, I like everything else about it.

I absolutely love the fat Bob. Question, I’m a small dude 5’6”, would I be comfortable on this? PS i’m an experienced rider. Thanks

I picked out a 2017 fat bob in denim red iron

I bought a 2013 brand new right of the show room floor . I had so much fun on it , I put 40,000 Miles on it in only 2 years . Tho it was in the shop alot , it had a ground problem on the ground from the battery that the dealer couldn't deplate , it cut out win I got on it do to a faulty ground nut . I found the problem after the dealer could not. I removed the ground nut from a windmill nut to a Teflon nut , I never had another problem with it after that. I could not ride it at night because of the head lights sucking in every bug from a mile away . The main crank to a shit got it replaced put a dino in it it gave me more horse power and torque. But while it was in the shop one time , the mechanic stoled the dyno box . Good bike for windy mountain roads .

Can't someone change the headlights? The 2018 Fatbobs look great.

Actually it looks military. I luv that look. With a few tactical side gun racks, it looks crazy intimidating

GREAT STUFF, IVE GOT A 2010 FXDF, AND AN ULTRA. I BOUGHT A ROADGLIDE IN 02, GOT NOTHING BUT GRIEF ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS BACK THEN.

One of the best looking Harley Davidson.

I actually bought mine because of the headlights i thought they looked bad ass. That one does look weird from the rear i will admit though

U should review a 2018 fat Bob

Much respect to the glue manufacturer on that post-it note...

"Rear headlights." Wat.

I can actually list 7 but okay.... also laughed out loud at the Honda motorcycle ad right before the HD video hahaha. Seeing that I'm a CBR rider it was ironic and hilarious.

Other than the headlight and big front tire.. I've always liked the styling of the Dyna Fat Bobs especially after the "muscle car" changes they made in, I believe, 2013. Test rode one about two years ago.. felt really nice. But I just liked the feel of the Street Bob better. Hence why I own one. More of a blank canvas for customizing. But I wouldn't be ashamed to ride a 2013-2017 Fat Bob. The 2018s.. not so much. Much prefer this styling compared to the new Softail Fat Bobs..
