Default Fat Boy or????

I just got back from the dealership. I am approved to by a brand new Harley. I went down there to get my Fat Boy and now I find myself looking at others maybe. Any reason I should not get the Fat Boy? Now I am looking at the Heritage Classic and the Soft Tail Custom. I told them I was going home to think about it. I like the wheels and the thick tires of the Fat Boy. I like the handle bars of the others. I just can't decide!! Any advice or your picks between the 3? It will be mostly for around town and some mountain drves.

There basically the same cycle with different styles (except for the softail custom). Obviously I like the Fatboy because its a blank canvas, if you will. You can pretty much do what you want with it. It all depends on what your taste is. Classic/traditional or custom. You can't go wrong with any of them.

Yah, you are right. When it comes down to it I keep leaning towards the Fat Boy. Just wish the handle bars were longer on the Fatty. Any other comments are appreciated.

Bars are easy to change. Go with the one that keeps you up at night thinking about it.

The bike is the down payment on the Accessory catalog.
Get the bike you want and change the bars. I like the fatboy
but then again I have one. whatever you decide enjoy...

I've got 21,000 miles on my 05 Fat Boy and wouldn't trade it for the world. The 6 speed and 96 inch motor should make for a nice combo. If I had it all over to do I would get the SE.

Did you look at the Softtail Springer CVO? I wanted to ride one in Daytona but someone ran it into a wall.

Liked the Fatty and the Custom wasn't out yet (really like that one), but went with the one that really drew me in. Always dug the Heritage, so went with that.

It's all personal.

Forget about Ann Jolie, just imagine how much you would have to give away for child support... She just keeps adopting!

Well , there's bound to be one thing or another that you might not love completely so keep in mind those things like bars, etc. , etc. , are common for people to change , and not all that expensive.When you getyour bike,you are probablygoing to start changing small things anyway.So get one that isclosest to the end result of what you are looking to do. Just my 2 cents.
