Default Fatboy Lo or Deluxe?

I'm pulling the trigger very soon and I keep going back and forth! I think the Lo looks so tough and I love the rawness of it. I also keep looking at the birch white and vivid black Deluxe. Its a timeless look and it has the flash that is normally associated with Harleys.

I guess in the end its the same bike when it comes down to it, I'm just stuck at 50/50 with both bikes! ....and no, I can't afford to buy both!

IM guessing you are a lady. since they are both girls bikes j/k, that is a tough one I say get the one that calls you to it most, only big diff. is the running lights and seat

Hey, I'm not a girl, but I liked both those bikes as well! I settled on a regular FatBoy due to the looks (I like chrome), the standard suspension travel relative to the shortened FB Lo, and the easier reach to the handlebars. For me, it was a tough decision between the FLSTF and the Deluxe, which has that old world charm in spades. In the end, I wanted a fatter rear tire and I wanted to get away from spokes, but you really can't go wrong with either of your choices.

Iv'e learnt in life things vibe you straight away .... or ... you need time .... dont matter if you go back and forth , back and forth , sit on them both , dont listen to anybody else there when the time is right you'll know ..... maybe ...... sometimes though life throws a curved ball and there might be another model in the corner you did not see ..... Life's a mystery to be lived not solved

All of the cars I've owned have been bright and shiney with custom chrome or forged wheels....thats what is appealing about the deluxe. But then the Lo is kind of the opposite....which I really haven't had.

what happened with me is that I went shopping and let the bike find me I did not go in with a specific model or look I just walked around until I heard my name being called. it sounds funny but it worked for me I bought it with out even a test ride

Deluxi is very cool. My favorite was the original Cowglide Nostalgia. What a great bike.
