Nice review on the FB 2018 if you haven't seen it yet:

It looks like it's the size of the Sportster.
Where are the Monkey Humping a Football jokes?

But it isn't. Length of the Fat Bob are almost identical to the Low Rider, and ir 6" longer than the Sportster. The wheel base is almost identical to the Heritage, Slim, Deluxe and Low Rider and 3.5 inches longer than the Sportster.

Don't go confusing the issue with quantifiable data.

But the new Jeeps just don't have the feel or look of the old Jeeps. Jeeps lost their soul and the new ones are not better than the old ones.

I was been sarcastic and making fun of the people complaining about the new HD's.....I think you know that though.
I happen to love Jeeps. Four of my last 5 vehicles were Jeeps. I have a 2009 Subaru Tribeca now. The AWD is fantastic but I'm not in love with it altogether. It's quirky. The struts and stabilizer bars are clunky (a common problem). I had to replace the rear struts and front stabilizer bar at 40,000 miles, the headlight bulbs burn out ever 6 months (and no one at Subaru can explain why but apparently it's an issue for many Subaru owners) and puddle lights stopped working at 70,000 miles. Also had trouble with the AC. The last two Grand Cherokees I had I got 210,000 and 260,000 trouble free miles out of before I sold them, and I beat the hell out of them because my work at the time required a lot of off road driving....much of it up in the Appalachian mountains. Those Jeeps climbed some very steep terrain up old logging roads, rocks, and through deep mud with ease. Once I'm done with this Subaru I'll go back to a Jeep.

It's 2" shorter than the 2017 Fat Bob mainly due to the reduced rake angle (28 vs 29 degrees), but the wheelbase is only a quarter inch less than the 2017. It's also a quarter inch higher unladen.

That said, I had to have another CVO road glide. The batwing was not doing it for me.
