Awesome ride!!
Congratulations and welcome to the Fat Boy family.

I can tell you i just bought a 2012 Fatboy Lo in Big blue pearl and it is the most comfy bike that i have ever riddin and owned. Trust me even tho its lower then the standard fatboy the ride is exactly the same your just sitting a tiny bit lower. As far as comparing the two i think the Lo is much nicer mainley cause i love the blacked out look. When i was first looking for a new bike last year i didnt really like the satin chrome on the low. But my opinion changed especially when i saw the bike in big blue pearl. The blacked out parts with the satin chrome and the dark blue paint job looks amazing to me! I love this bike! Oh and im 6ft and this bike is not too low for me at all it fits perfect!!
Good stuff . Im out looking at Lo's today . Im getting one very soon

I like the chrome on my FLSTF, my bike handles quite nice when cornering but I did touch the floorboard on the tarmac twice last year (when cornering with 2up) the sound scared me.
The prices w/tax will reach well into 18K for new, bought mine (05) for close to half of that this spring, 11K miles.

Use a lowering kit to lower the rear end 1 inch.
