Continental GT => rear sets
Street Bob => mid controls
Fat Bob => forward controls

Did you make your final decision based on rider comfort?

Comfort was part of it. But a small part. It was the handling. The Fat Bob handles ridiculously well. The Street bob had a harsher ride and wasn't super friendly on the curves. The Cont Gt, I just didn't think I'd like the rear controls for the amount of riding I do.

And build quality is bar none better on the HD.

Never thought I'd own a Harley....

Bought my first Harley in 2016. No regrets.

The interceptor has mid controls. Harleys are great, reliable, fast enough.

I would buy them both! You can’t go wrong with ether one. I understand your pain. I own three HDs and seven REs.

Congratulations! I loved the wheels on the FatBob so much that I ended up installing them on my FortyEight and then on my SlimS...





I went through several HDs (Road Glide, Road Glide CVO, Sportster 48, Road King CVO, Softail Slim S). Happy now with my GT650. Wife first had a HD Sportster Nightster and then moved to a Softail Deluxe...

The 48 before I did the FatBob wheels... several folks told me it could not be done... so of course I had to do it, lol...

What counts is the rider rides what pleases the rider.
Congrats and many happy miles.

The nice thing about owning a harley, all you need to do is find a farm tractor mechanic. I have to smile when I say it. I owned one too. And I still call it a farm tractor

Harley’s warranty is good for that. HD will pay any kind certified mechanic willing to work on the bike under warranty. So if all you can find is a tractor mechanic to work on your bike, so be it HD has you covered. That and they have so much torque they will up a stump. I just inharited my best friends 1994 Dyna Lowrider with only 8,256 original mikes on it. So I currently own four HD‘s. I’m sad to say I just put my 2014 Night Rod Special up for sale. It’s the best running bike I’ve ever owned or ridden. But at my age it’s time to thin the herd in my stable of bikes. Sadly I just don’t have time to ride them all.😔
