My bike arrived early!
I got a call from my dealer today and a black 2005.5 Fat Boy Aniv. bike came in today and the person on the list backed out, so they past it on to me. My bike was schedualed to arrive July 8th, so it was a nice surprise!
I rode 60 miles today and it was great! Taking it on a long ride tomorrow.
Pics to follow, I have a lot of mods planned for this bike. (My first Harley).

RE: My bike arrived early!
Thanks guys.
Picked up the bike on sat and road 60 miles, then today (Sunday) took her for a long awsome ride - 220 miles.... But before I did that - I had to get rid of some of the gold! I took the gold tank badge off (heat gun, fishing line, 3M adhesive remover and about 10 minutes - and a nice coat of wax). Much better now, I don't think I could ride it another mile with that gold badge on there, I'd actually like to remove the Gold pin striping too... but I have a delima with doing that.
I noticed soething interesting - at about 120 miles on the odometer the bike suddenly started running much stronger, pulled hard through all the gears (I didn't wrap on it too hard).
I love the bike - but just don't care for the gold acccents, but I still bought the right bike for me. I wanted a Fat Boy and the 95" factory motor, polished wheels and the few other things out weighed the gold trim.
Do you guys think it would be "ruining" the bike if I were to remove (color sand, or repaint) over the gold pin striping on the fenders and tank? It is "an aniversary edition" and the black and gold combo is what Harley chose for the bike...[sm=smiley25.gif]
I did buy a spare Fat boy tank off of ebay last week for $260.00 in case in the future I want to stretch the tank - I could save the original tank complete with the gold badge.
What do you think??
