Contrary to the poll results I learned that the only thing I like about the deluxe is the paint, and tombstone taillights...
With what I got planned for the motor, suspension, and wheels it would be better suited for the Fatty with the required rubber to get scootin' and look fat and low.
I did switch my color from the usual black to the Deep Cobalt Pearl. Every vehicle I own is Black/Chrome but after seeing the blue pearl on a classic parked in the sun my jaw dropped. Plus I think some color sets of the chrome nicely. Thanks to all who participated !! The bike should come in sometime around the beginning of Sept.
-Ride Hard-

 

I had a '99 1200C Sporty that I traded in for the '05 Fatty that I have now and I have no regrets.
I am only 5'6" and I have no trouble reaching the groung and no issuse with wind tossing me around because of the "solid " wheels, so dont let the posts that you see here sway you. I would highly recommend a fatty, as a matter of fact I convinced my younger sister into purchasing one. And she is shorter than I am. I will post the pics of hers when I see it again, as she is always on the road riding.


Fatty's Rule

 

It is not the swaying that steers me away from the solid wheels, it's the looks of them. [:@] NON HD style. Looks too Jap to me. JMO.

 

I am biased but I say..........Deluxe and don't look back! I love my 05 Deluxe and after a few more upgrades, wow!!!! Good luck with whatever you choose.

I personally think they ruined the fatboy in 07, but that is just a matter of opinion. You can customize any bike. I reversed my risers on my deluxe, added a sissy bar chromed it out, 80 spoke wheels, chrome rotors, cruise mark 3 extenders, all bar and shield upgrades on the motor, chrome front end, chrome bars and switches, lots more chrome. I have updated pics coming tomorrow with new seat and layback plate.

Here is my bike yesterday
