If you choose the SB, make sure that the problem some have had with the rear fender cracking at the tail light assembly has been addressed by MOCO. I liked the FB but didn't want forwards, so went with the Custom. They are all three great bikes...

The rider position is so different on the two. You need to go with what feels best for you.

Street bobbis the way to go!! It's a little cheaper.. Classic bobber look, a lot of different ways you can customize it, the difference is a 103" on the '12. I rode both. I think street bob rides better but then again, I'm used to my sb!! Good luck!

I don't think that you can go wrong with a Dyna really. My '12 SB is my second dyna, first was an '05 super glide. I am a little bias to the 19" front wheel myself so I would have to say SB all the way.

I prefer the style of the Fat Bob.

I also prefer the better braking with dual disks up front.

I also like the extra light at night with the dual headlights.

But they're all good in their own way.

I had to make the same decision a year ago and went with the Street Bob. I never looked back.

I see a lot more Fat Bobs on the road though. Not sure what the deal is there. People on this forum seem to love the SB and every other person has one. I just don't see you guys on the road...and I don't see Street Bobs on the showroom floor.
