Finally after thinking about 3 months, started thinking heritage, thought I sure like the fatboy, test rode one and thought yep that's it.

Picked up a 09 Fatboy, vivid black, chrome rims and security at a smokin deal. so smokin i can't type it in public in fear it would make some cry.

I've been riding since I was 16, my last bike was a c50. I bought this after really thinking about the HD's for a while. What is came down to was the HD is just a beautiful machine. The looks and engine layout and the sound is what made me spend 2x the money i spent on my last purchase...

I've been crusin and pokin on this site for a few months. Good information here! attitudes (good and bad) and all.. hehe, well that is make makes it enjoyable, were all different.

 

Great bike I always liked the fatboy. Gonna leave it stock or do you have plans to make it your own?

 

Congrats!

 

Nice ride...My next bike is going to be a fatboy. Congrats.

 

Please...make me cry.

I'm shopping and looking for market knowledge. Do tell.

And congratulations on a very nice bike! I'm see-sawing between the Fat Boy and the Heritage myself.

 

Great Fat! Especially the chrome wheels, you may want to get chrome lower sliders, look even better.

 

Rburn, congrat's ! Nice pick if I don't say so myself.Fist thing first...loose the reflectors & and then slam the biatch.

 

Congrats on the new scoot! I hope it serves you well for a long time.

 

I found a couple prices, and finally my local dealer finally came in for me. I went to
them after i shopped around and laid it out and told them I'd love to buy from them
but not for 1,600 more.

shopping i found these prices.
08 Fatboy new 17,000 OTD.
09 17,500 OTD
These were black with security.
I'm calif for 7.25% tax... So the 2008 was 15,800 before tax. odd as the 08's are 1200 more than the 09's. and the 2009 was about 16,300 before the tax.
Chrome wheels came in $500 over above costs.

Starting figures were 09 was 19,600 OTD. so 1600 less.

I'm thinking I don't see many FB's in my area and the ones i do are changes quite a bit, I think I'll lose the reflectors but will leave it basically stock. I do plan on putting some slip-on's asap... maybe rush 1.75's something mellow. Later I want a quick on/off windshield and bags, as I plan to take a few long road trips, but mainly it's commuting 10 miles a day to work and back

thanks!

 

Congrats! The chrome on the wheels make the bike look way better.
