I think I may like the chrome...there are so many things you can do in chrome to keep the fresh!

Both are great bike and I am sure you will be very pleased with the one you chose. I like the retro styling of the Deluxe better, I also like the front fender more on the Deluxe over the FB. I can recall when I first saw The Terminator and Arnold Schwarzenegger riding a Fat Boy, I wanted one so bad. But I guess my taste for bikes changed. Good luck with what ever you decide to go with and please post some pics.

I went with the deluxe. I liked the fender, aux lights, and white walls. And I knew I wouldn't be able to live with that polished chrome and the black plastic covers on the lo

I have the fatboy lo. I also like chrome and black. I liked the stance and the way the Lo feels. I bought my Lo and had the dealer change all the skins from a regular black pearl metallic fat boy. I now have an original color fat boy lo and enjoy the best of both worlds, chrome and black.

I'm kind of partial to the Deluxe but the best way to Decide is take one of each out for a ride when you get back you'll know. Good luck and what ever you decide I'm sure you'll be happy.

Remember the Lo aint chrome it's brushed. If you want it chrome you got to make it yourself or get the Deluxe.

I went to buy a Fatboy three years ago. I loved the Fatboy. Stared at a picture of it on my desktop and visualize riding it. Went to the dealership to have a look and was very excited that this might be the day I finally buy it. Got to the dealership only to see a "sold" card on the seat. Major bummer! I pouted for a few minutes and told my wife we should just go and she encouraged me to at least have a look around. Then, there in the back was my Deluxe. I never even knew much about the model until the sales guy saw me drooling and proceeded to give me the specs. "Never know til you sit on it", he says. So on I got and I lit up. It fit like a glove, and I knew this was my bike.

Today, three years later it's still my number one choice, I've sat and rode a few (including the Fatboy) and my Deluxe just feels like home. I will never sell it. It's an extension of me. ...someone get me a kleenex.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is.. you'll know what bike suites you best. But what fun it is finding it. Good luck.
