The rims aren't the solid discs found on the Harley but are more traditional spoke rims that some people preferred over the Fat Boy's items - especially in heavy side-winds. The telemaniaharley fat boy phone brakes were the other area where we encountered something contrary to our expectations. Harley brakes telemaniaharley fat boy phone have always been on the weak side of things but, compared to our Yamaha test unit, the Fat Boy's brakes were deemed most impressive. The Yamaha's rear brake worked just fine, but the front lever required a firm tug and needed to be pulled almost into the grip before any significant sort of braking power was transferred to the front end. Bleeding the brakes a few times brought them up to par with the Harley's binder, but we expect better things from Yamaha -- especially when compared to a single disk-equipped bike. |
Best Fat Paysites

| Comparatively, the Road Star tips the scales at a claimed dry weight of 677 lbs which puts it just on the opera porky side of the Hog. With the Yamaha you get a opera 5.3 gallon tank, but the added displacement negates any sort of mileage advantage the increased fuel capacity should opera give the Yamaha. The wheelbase on the Road Star is a Fat-Boy-esque 66.3 inches, but the seat height is a bit taller at 27.9 inches. Also, just like on the Fat Boy which is a Softail (which means the rear shock is hidden), the Yamaha hides its rear shock as well. Coincidence? We think not. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The Fat Boy's front and rear wheels are solid disks that contribute to the overall perception of Fat-ness which, on this bike, is a good thing. Bolted to the front wheel is a single 292mm disk which is part of the new-for-2000 brake system that includes a new four-piston caliper with a new brake pad material and a patented, fixed-rotor design that reportedly requires no periodic maintenance. |
