I did some invoice comparisons like that. Once HD didn't want to budge I went to another dealer at the end of the month. Both salesman were friends and were competing for my business so I had them going back and forth, it was entertaining. Eventually one went down to $14,500 OTD.
My 2010 low with a buncha extras. There is a list of everything I have added since I bought it, with links on my site (link to in my profile). Lemme know what you think of anything that would look good.

Thats an AMAZING price!
I was able to talk my dealer down to $16500 OTD....
Finally ordered my bars and cables last Saturday. Hopefully should be on next week! First was gonna go with 16" buffalo bars, then 17" Todd's Cycle apes, and after seeing some bikes in Sturgis I went with these Roland Sands Vintage 16" King Apes. I can't wait!
Well, like everyone has been telling me as I shop around for the type of bike I want, if you are happy with it, that is all that matters. Your deal doesn't sound unreasonable. I've got no truck with profit. They've got overhead, idiots as employees, charge-backs, stupid customers, insurance, blah blah blah. I just like to go in with as much knowledge as is reasonably available, in advance, so when they start all that typical car salesman shuck and jive I am armed with a few facts. I've had dealers stick to MSRP as if corporate told them they had to, and I just went down the road if they wouldn't talk to me. (By the way, one of the worst is sucking wind and probably won't last. He's also got a real crappy rating with the BBB and several complaints lodged against him. Again, more knowledge). I'm also waiting till later in the fall when 2010 prices might be a little more elastic.
Anybody have a comment on timing for 2010 models? Now, or wait some more?
I am in the sand right now and my wife told me they were out of 2010's also I using the Military, buy they way they were sold out. I ordered a 2011 to be delivered right about the time I get home. But the 2010's are holding thier value big time if look on ebay. I am paying 16,500 than just taxes 1200 for that is what I anticipate. So he got a good deal.
last year in the middle of October and paid $16,500 out the door. I think you got a good deal. Thank you for your service to your country. Hope you get home soon.
Since we're on the subject of buying a Fatboy Lo, i'm selling mine, have it listed in the classefieds section. It's a 2010 with 5100 miles. Had it since the end of may this year. great bike asking 15500. located in virginia.
