Anyone with experience in both?

 

I had a 2010 Fatbob that I bagged out and was working on blacking out when I wrecked it. I now have a 2012 Fatboy Lo. I like the lo a lot better. Its got floorboards which makes it a lot more comfortable, it doesn't ride quite as smooth with the lowered suspension and has less ground clearance but I don't really ride fast through twisties anyways. The Lo is bigger and will accommodate bigger bags which I really like. The Lo is also a lot better looking bike also and I think easier to work on with the softail layout.

 

Other than dragging the floorboards a bit, (its not a sportbike so i dont care) the Lo is the way to Go. The cool factor is great and it rides great as far as im concerned. Great bike.

 

Oh by the way, the black denim is the coolest, i dont care how many have it, even though ive only seen one other in my area! Get er done!

 

I too was thinking of both, I like the "B" motor alot.

 

I was in your position a while ago. My perfect bike is somewhere in between a fat bob and a fatboy lo. It'd be too expensive to buy a bike and chop and change it, so I recommend the fatboy

 

Rode a Lo from San Diego to Vegas and back...nice ride, but if you are a bigger guy (6' or over), you may need to change the seat/handlebar setup. Nice looking motorcycle though.
