Don't pay full price, and don't succumb to immediate gratification. You're so close! Get the right bike at the right place for the right price!
I agree but also consider the price of insurance. It may cost you more than you want to pay each year. Welcome, good luck on your purchase, and ride safe!

Fatboy was my second bike and was much easier to ride than my Softail Standard(1st bike) was. I wanted a Fatboy for my first bike but couldnt afford it. If I could ever afford to have 2 the 2nd one would be a Fatboy for sure. I had no trouble taking the Fatboy on road trips either. It should be no trouble to handle the weight.

Started to head out and rain hit me. I'm going to go ahead and do stage 1 on it. It just doesn't pull like I imagined it would so I'm going to try and fix that. I ordered D&D fatcat, SE heavy breather and TTS. Would that be a step in the right direction?
