RE: Thinking about buying a Street Bob
Any Dyna would be a great choice for what you want it for. I put bags and tour pak on my FXD and detachable windshield since I commute on it everyday. That way I can stop for groceries or such on the way home and have room for gear for weather changes. All comes off in 5 min. if you want on the week end. Bought mine for 15k+ out the door and put another 3k into it, now perfect bike for me. Peace.

RE: Thinking about buying a Street Bob
Ive only had my St Bob for a few weeks, but i simply love it. I plan on riding mine to work also (70 Miles round trip). As for the around town and short trips it is great. Out of the few weeks ive had it ive been on 2 trips. One was the day i bought it, 275 miles, only thing i would change about the trip is a windshield. Rice fields in June in Arkansas means alot of bugs at sundown. Other than the bugs it was a great ride. Second ride was only 220 miles on open highways with 65-70 mph speed limits. Bob was great, only thing i did wrong was helmet choice, dont ever go on a long ride w/o trying out a helmet. Wind noise sux with some.
Well after all that, i say test drive one, try it out. I can almost guarantee your gonna love it!!!

I love my bob, but stock I don't consider it great for commuting. I think saddle bags make a good commuter bike.

RE: Thinking about buying a Street Bob
I use the Bob for commuting once in a while... 70 miles round trip and day trips occasionally. I also have an 07Road King. I have twice the miles on the King since I got itvice the 06 Bob. That speaks volumes. I love the Bob, but for commuting it is not what I consider the best choice. If you add bags, and a windshield it would make a huge difference and make a great commuter IMO, then strip it down for just puttin'... I like to keep my Bob minimal cause I love the "look"... rode it today though with a luggage rack and a roll bag attached.

Great for commuting!..well you might need a new- not stock seat-! Try a saddleroll for storage. I have 06 bob that i use also for getting back and forth to work. I have a kuryakyn custom saddleroll on the mini apes thats hold alot. Also have the kury saddlebags on order and will be posting pics and thoughts later this week, so if you get a bob( which i highly suggest), check this forum. ps don't get the cobalt blue...don't want to have to many of us out there!!!
