New Softails are Better than Dyna in Many Ways

I have a 14 FB, there are many things I like better about the 18. Performance, stronger frame, power, all yes. The two deal breakers for me were the 3.6 gallon tank,that's a Sportster tank. I have 5 gal now and almost wish I had 6. Also the "look", it lost the Harley look.
In the end I wanted to like it and trade mine in.
In the end I'll just do a Hillside or S&S upgrade when the time comes and keep my 14.

But.....I thought about it a bit and for me, I don't believe it will be a problem.
150 miles on the highway is about two hours riding time. I do quite a lot of touring on my '14 Fat Bob with a group comprised of mainly HD Touring bikes and we normally stop for a leg stretch/smoke/gas every 100 miles or 90 minutes(ish).
So the range on the 18 Bob should be OK - for my needs.

They look like glorified Honda's as for a way better ride says ????? the jury is out be it reviews or not. My 86 FXR rode as smooth and cornered as good as any new HD I've ridden. Back in the day when i bought it was thought of as a Jap bike cause it was rubber mounted. My point is Ill shutp until ive ridden one myself. If you want one and think it looks and rides good more power to ya.
