Default FAT BOY or FAT BOY LO?

Now that I've decided on getting a 2012 Fat Boy, the question is, Standard or Lo? I ride a 2010 Ultra Limited, am 5'11", and have a 30" inseam. I know I don't like cars that are built low to the ground, but I don't know that that has anything to do with a bike! Suggestions?

The only difference between these two bikes is cosmetics. The regular Fatboy now sits nearly as low as the Lo and the handlebars are the same. I prefer the chrome treatment to the black and matte surfaces, and also dislike the Lo's wheels -- although I would opt for the chrome or slotted versions on the regular FB.

My choice is regular. Good luck with your decision.

They are the same bike. Do you like Black or do you like chrome ?

You can buy the rear shock for each bike for cheap. I hate cleaning bikes so I went with the lo.

Got to luv the low cleaning maintenance of the LO. Wash and ride no polishing. You already have a shinny Ultra now the Dark Side is calling. You know you want it.
