Good for you to make the change (or upgrade depending on how you look at it).
I went from a plain Jane1996 FLHT (in the sig pic) to a 09 Ultra Classic in September 09.
There was an immediate honeymoon period followed by an adjustment period where I wasn't sure I did the right thing but after a couple of thousand miles I decided I was happy (enough) with it.
Just like marriage!
You'll love that bigger engine, brakes, and better handling....

Liked the look but do not miss the carb or the rough ride JMHO

Update: I took delivery of the RK Thursday evening and have put 100 miles on it so far. I can't believe the difference in the ride and handling. It's like riding on a cloud. I haven't had a chance to slap leather to it yet as I am still in the break in period on the motor. After I hit the 500 mile mark I will probably wring it out. It does hit 60 MPH pretty quick. The sixth gear is great. My Fatboy was great but I think I am going to like this bike a lot better.

I rode to the dealership yesterday and there sat my Fatboy in the used bikes. I had the same sensation I have when I look at my Ex-Wife. I remember the good times,but I don't want to ride you anymore.
