Default OK, brought new baby home today finally

As mentioned in other threads, I traded my 2009 Fat boy in today for a new 2025 Fat Boy, whiskey Fire/Vivid black

Shes beautiful, and the color looks even better in person than in pix! Its not red, its not orange. Its definitely red-orange. Not sure where whiskey comes into the picture,
I quit that **** 29 years ago. Hopefully no fires on this bike any time soon...

This is how it looks today. That'll be changing on Monday as I'll be installing new exhaust, intake, mirrors, derby cover. Posting these for a decent before/after look.

Also, it really pulls. Hard. I haven't done a single mod to it yet and it pulls way harder than my 09 did, and that bike had 103" big bore, V&H big shots, SE pro intake, PCIII, and Andrews cams.

I love the Fat Boy except for the stock seat. For me, it was a butt burner. But a Mustang solo cleared that right up. Enjoy your new bike.
