Pros/cons on Fat Bob
#23
I'd pull the trigger. Great price. Nothing wrong with the color either. 68 miles is brand new, full warranty I assume? These motors are bullet proof anyway. My '09 still runs like new after 30,000 miles. The Fatbob is a great "do everything" bike. Fun to blast around town, great for touring, wicked on a twisty road.
If the color doesn't grow on you, you can plasti-dip it yourself for about $15 dollars. Check out youtube vids. Easy to use and no consequences for screwing up other than time spent re-doing it. Protects your factory paint even! Otherwise you can pay for the respray like you mentioned. Don't spend 4K for a black paint job. It's whats underneath that counts and there is no meaningful difference between a '14 and a '15.
Good luck and enjoy the bike!

Ive always thought the Fat Bob was ugly because of the twin headlights ant rear fender, but you fixed the parts I didn't like, looks great

To the OP, congratulations on your new bike. You'll love it. Fat Bobs are great bikes. Seriously, this is my favorite of the 4 Harleys and one Honda I've owned. Will be my last bike (God willing).
And yes, this board will cost you money, so start saving........

Well I pick her up Thursday next week! Now I want exhaust, intake and HD tuner and debating having Screaming Eagle slip ons and black shields put on or something else. I want louder than stock but not super loud and I'd figure have them do it and it's tuned right plus all covered under 2 year warranty. Also I'm trying to read the links in the stickys but it won't work for me? I want to read about gas tank cap mod, plate, floorboads etc and don't want to keep posting questions asked a thousand times before. Thanks guys and I'll post pic after the first ride!! 44f Thursday but I'm still riding! For a hour maybe. Haha

What questions do you have about floor boards?

In my case I bought the eBay floor boards that mount in place of your pegs and I love them.
I'm 5'8 so it really made the bike comfortable
