The springer will definitely be more unique than the fatboy & you can always freshen up the springer with a little more HP.

If it has been your dream to build one & the opportunity is there, what are you waiting for.

Yep, and to add, they are slow because they are pretty and should be seen, Most of 'fast' bikers are actually 'ugly' and are afraid to be noticed , and we are also glad they are fast , that minimizes the painful agony we go through looking at them .

What he said.

I bought my first Harley when I was 35. I would NOT have bought Harley Davidson were it not for there being a Springer. Fatboys are nice but in the motorcycle landscape...they are just another motorcycle unless you really put some work into it as some people do. The Springer stands out on its own, right out of the box.

I have a 97 Heritage Springer and it is great to go to a rally and not see a bunch of bikes like yours. Being different is a good thing, sometimes.

Unless of course you go to a Heritage Springer rally.
