just ordered a couple.. still killing myself over what bars to get. sat on a Lo at harley that had 16 inch bars with a 3 1\2 inch risers. so i got a good feel for the size i want. going to do 16's with 1 or 2 inch risers. but still looking at which brand. my last bike had road6 customs which we ok, but i want that forward convexed kinf. like the evil apes from carlini. also like todd's cycle stripper bars, but can't see if that have that same curve to them.ugh!

I agree, read the same article and other reviews. For what it is worth, the HD filters are not a bad price, good quality and are easily accessible. Always keep one on the shelf ready to roll.

i've always been told that the 103 is'nt much different than the 96 as far as power is concerned. I beg to differ. Maybe it's because of the height difference from the SG i used to ride to my new FB Lo or the seating position, but my Lo really seems to get up and go a lot faster than the SG

got home from work today and took my bike for an hour scoot. i have to say that i have loved a few of my bikes iv'e had, but damn this is one comfortable smooth riding bike. i can finally see myself doing lots of long trips on this bike without the worry of real fatigue. the last couple bikes have killed my hips and back on long trips over 300 miles. But the more i ride my Lo, the more i can see what i have been missing out on for a long time. Although i do believe things happen when they're supposed to, this one has been a long time coming!

Go with the Fat Boy Lo, you won't regret it. More options for 2-up riding.
