Default Fatboy - Fatboy Lo

What's the difference between a FatBoy and a FatBoy Lo?

about $200 and black stuff

Not really sure, I would be curious to know if there are any physical differences besides some colors, bar configurations and finishes.

About an inch in seat height and about a 1/2" in ground clearance.

only difference in them now besides the satin chrome and some black parts is that the Lo has different socks which makes the bike a little lower 1.15" front and rear. As of 2012 the seats and handle bars
are the same on both.

Lo has $200 less chrome, factory lowered rear shocks and black wheel centers.

The Lo seat used to be lower too, but it looks like they've started using the same, plain Jane seat on the regular FB.

The 2010-11's had what was basically a drag bar, very uncomfortable unless your arms are about 6' long.

Yep not a hole lot of difference now!!! Biggest difference now is color sceme. Satin chrome instead of regular chrome on some parts and black.. And its a tad lower. Other then that they are the same bike!

Oh and because it sits lower it is a faster bike. Just thought I needed to add that.

Yes, despite all data... there is many more horsepower in these black bikes!
