A freind of mine has a low custom fatboy and let me tell you that bike is sharper than a tack, any way he had ordered some new baffles for his V&H Bigshot staggerd's and wanted me to ride it so he could hear the pipe's, (now remember I just got off my Heritage to do this), so the ride begun,[:@] dang you have to lean like heck to get that thing through a turn and pull on the handle bar's alot to get that acomplished, no comfort for the ole butt I tell ya either, I was very surprised that it rode like that and for my own taste I am NOT going to ride one like that, on a better note go to the exhaust thread's to hear about those on the fatboy log wagon, I'm sorry I meant one bad looking fatboy. Well after the little jaunt I climbed back on my trusty Heritage and came back home and my bike handeled a heck of alot better and rode like a cadillac, no pulling on the handle bar's to get it to turn, just point it in the right direction and smooth as silk.[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

it's funny how just riding another bike can really make you love yours.

 

Did he have one of those super-wide wienie tires that requires either an offset engine & tranny, or right side drive? Never could figger out why somebody'd wanna build a bike that started off lopsided!

 

Nah his bike was lowered 2" with 18" tire's and wheel's, it had no suspension travel at all, great looking bike though just not my cup of tea.

 

For my money, I want the bike to perform vice look, though I want it look as well...if that makes any sense.

 

I think that that might be something similiar to custom bikes. They might look nice but some of them aren't that fun to ride. I personally like a bike that looks good and I am able to ride it comfortably. If it's not comfortable, it's no fun to ride long distance, at least that's what my butt said.

 

I was not comfortable on a dry rd, could you imagine trying to manuever that bike around a wet curvey rd. I can't. [&:] But like I say to each his own.[sm=exactly.gif]
