A Parody Style Review of the 2020 Fat Bob Harley-Davidson. What was the inspiration surrounding the style design? The Fat bob has a unique look that doesn't relate to any bike in Harley-Davidson's long history of making motorcycles. Matt and Andrew of Laidlaw's Harley-Davidson take the bikes out for a rip. Learn about what makes this bike one of H-D's most Performance-based cruisers in the lineup.

That & the discontinued FXDR. I don’t get why they discontinued it, I’ve been trying to find one in good condition with reasonable miles for a decent price. All the ones in my 250 mile radius are either low miles &at least 5k over MSRP or high miles at MRSP give or take, or private sale looking abused for a high price since “it was a limited run, I know what I got”

Great job once again Matt. I just bought a 20' Fat Bob in performance orange. I owned a FXDX and a twin cam night train for many years. This M8 motor and softail chassis put the Dyna and old softail to SHAME in my opinion. This bike is awesome. I had a stage 1 done with S&S slip ons. If I ride conservatively I can get 50 mpg. The combination of power, handling and comfort is fantastic! Great intro with the Zombie theme, just luv it and all your videos. Don't change a thing in the way you do them. Hope your doing alright during this pandemic!

One of my favorite Dyna/Softail HD's. I liked it when it first came out as a Dyna. Then they hacked up the back end. Still had my attention. Then it switched over to the Softtail. I took one, and several other of the new Softail's, for a test ride when the factory truck was in town. I walked into the dealership to mull things over after my rides and there was a Sport Glide. This was the week they were released and there was not one on the truck. Off I went on a test ride on the Sport Glide and that is what sits in my garage. Dress it up or strip it down. The SG checked all the boxes for me, Stage III added at purchase. The M8 in the new Softail frame is a hell of package! One for everyone. And I've got bags to load up with. Thanks Matt another great video. Let's see a FLSB review.

That being said, this is the most fun and enjoyable bike i have ever had. the ride is great, manurable, stable, fast enough and sporty enough with comfort and the engine and overall feel when you ride it is amazing and just is a great feel. That engine has an amazing feel to it!!!! I personally like the styling and feel this is a great sport cruiser. Thank you Harely Davidson for this one !!!!

I’m really researching Harleys and going all around on what is the next bike for me... when this pandemic loosens up a bit... I’ll be in to talk to your guys and start sitting on the bikes and test rides... I dig the Fat Bob and the out of the box look and hopefully nimble feel...

Great video, Matt! I wouldn't trade my Lowrider for any other bike. It's just a perfect all around bike for me. It's got great stability and range on a highway, and yet it's nimble enough for twisty roads and busy city traffic. Fat Bob is cool, it handles like a bicycle and launches like a rocket, and Lowrider S is more performance oriented than a standard version. But I wanted a "Jack of all trades" bike and I got it. Love it!

Like you said the fat bob is underrated..ever since i rode the softail fat bob back in 2018 i always wanted one...i get to ride my friends fat bob once in a while, and everytime it puts a smile on my face. It surprisingly handles corners with ease and the comfort is really nice. The torque is really good too. I hope it doesn't get shutdown like the fxdr, frankfully i never liked the fxdr..it didn't bring back any v-rod vibes for me frankfully. I'm planning to buy this in the future, but im also looking into other softails and touring models since i got my better half tagging along with me in future rides. But i can't imagine a water-cooled fat bob, it would be a throat ripper 🤘🏽. And forgot to mention something, my friends fat bobs...most of them have fog lamps fixed on the moustache crash bars...and side bags...either leather or case like and luggage rack behind... totally ready for apocalypse 💪🏽.

BUT, even at 65 it all boils down to one bike after owning them all.... it boils down to my LOWRIDER even for long distance riding which I do from time to time. My touring bike is just not as fun as my Lowrider. So, if I had to pick just one bike to own.... it’s my Lowrider, end of story!

I have about 13k on my 2018 114...I absolutely love this bike. I was riding a '14 street Bob and, living in the mountains, I was running out of brakes and needing to drop A LOT of money upgrading suspension and brakes (Dyna Bros know what I'm talking about)...so I rode a few of the new softails but the mean look, the suspension/brakes, and the performance totally sold me. I hated the bars and went to 12" mx t-bars, changed a few other things, but this is an incredibly solid bike. If you're thinking about it, now's the time to pull the trigger. 🤘

Thank you for the comment from an actual owner. Yes, this thing will blow away the Dyna Street bob, Stock for Stock,

In the dirt for a minute. lmao Hollweird and HD, living in a fantasy land. Matt, you are still the best sales Men for these bikes. Hopefully HD picks up a great CEO and focuses back on its core customers.

Not related to this video, but you invited questions so here it is. With the cost difference between the soft tail standard and the sport glide, would you consider it worthwhile to pick up the standard and add bags?

I would probably pick the Fatbob over the lowrider S. Haven’t actually test riden either. Only have sat on them both at a dealership and based on that alone and looks I definitely lean more towards the Fatbob

Agreed, The ONLY reason I gravitate more to the LRS, is the bigger fuel tank

I also like the taco sitting of the FXDR and the low seat like the high gas tank thats close to the chest like the 883 and Forty-eight

I ride my blacked out 2019 Fatbob 114 with a stage 1 and Rinehart exhaust every weekend.

The tail section. Between round turn signals lights. Is that an actual running light or is it just a reflector.

What’s the most hp you’ve seen out of a 114/117 fully modified, yet still covered by the warranty? (This would include mods that increase displacement to whatever happens after 117 lol)

I had a 2010 Dyna Fat Bob and for me the forward controls were the perfect distance for leg stretch. So the forward controls on the newer Fat Bob Softail are now closer so your knees bend more, less stretched out? Thank You👍🏻👍🏻

I am 6’1 & on my 2017 Dyna Fatbob had a tallboy seat plus extended forward controls. I expected to feel cramped on the Softail Fatbob, but it fit me perfectly as I think the riding position put me more vertical. I found it to be lighter, and so so fast & nimble! I could throw it around & it was addictive to ride! Any ride was great. My riding was at Daytona Bike Week where over some 10-days in 2018 HD give test rides by yourself on any of their entire range as many times as you like on a route of 8-10 miles which has turns, straights, traffic on one bit, and gives a good insight into a daily ride! The Softail Fatbob was great! I sold my Dyna Fatbob intending to get a 2020 one but Covid 19 arrived. I think I might wait now until the HD models are out for 2021 now.
