Check it out. I've joined the squadron!
Went with black instead of red afterall... I got some ideas for custom work so we'll see how it goes. Its actually "used" with 126 miles on it and some aftermarket stuff:
Harley wide grips,
Chrome radiator cover or something to that affec, battery covers.
All in all for the pricing: $14,900 after trade in. Not a bad deal
One hell of a ride. God I'm in love with this thing and I love the six gear... wow.. who knew?!!! This is the shi'te!!! The stock seat is pretty comfy and the position is great with the drag bars. I can drool a little more after the weather clears up and I can take it on some ride... gotta

Its in front, not on the side under the seat. Its at the bottom of the frame. I believe its a radiator cover but not entirely sure. But there is a voltage regulator chrome cover and battery box cover on as well. Its tasteful so far, the previous owner has some other pieces that he'd sell me for a reduced price but I haven't seen them.

Local dealer has a Fat Bob in what I can only assume is the dark blue pearl? I currently have an FXST with all kinds of upgrades (read: money poured into it) but I positively drool every time I see that bike on the floor, I want it bad....I cannot get it out of my mind. I've been very happy with my Standard and until I saw the Bob at the dealer I had absolutely no desire to own any other Harley at this time. I think they nailed it with this model, love the dual front headlights, the fatter tire on the front, the way it sits....
I'm pretty sure they'd be eager to do a deal based on the posts I've read (the state of the economy, the flat sales of motorcycles in general) but I suspect that they'd just kill me on the trade in for the same reasons.
I'm envious of youse guys with your Fat Bobs and want to be a squadron member! I just don't think it's in the cards and I'm enjoying not having a payment on the MC, I own mine outright. [8D]

Oddly most of those that went to reviewers seemed to have mid, and most of those that I have seen on the road or in showroom have had forward!
Mine came with forward and it's a first for me. At first I didn't think I'd like it but I'm used to it and with my 34" inseam I think it would be the best option, as when I sat on one with mid controls I could sense that I might be uncomfortable on extended rides.
