My odometer has another 198 miles on it. Not really that much better though lol. Three days of ownership and a day and a half of rain...

If this is your first Softail, you picked the right time to buy one and congrats. On the other hand, welcome to the I should have never sold/ traded my HD xxx ...
Keep the FXR, at least don't make the mistake I made and traded for a bagger in 1999.

Mchad, that is a beautiful bike! Hard to imagine that it's only 30lbs heavier than the Dyna, wow! I'm starting to look around again. I was originally thinking since I liked to work on the last one so much that I'd get something in the 2009+ range and have a party but with the oppressive heat where I am and the fact that the garage is just not pleasant to work in during the summer (when I wouldn't be riding since every day is 115 degrees plus), I'm starting to think that perhaps I should get one that I would leave as is for a while. Gosh help me, but I'm even looking at the BMW r1200rt.
Congrats, that thing is gorgeous, hopefully a new bear won't deter...

I also think the new Fat Boys are the best looking of the new Softails. Still recognizable as a Fat Boy, but a big evolution from the old version.
I'm also digging the riser mounted gauges on the new Street Bob. The tank on that model looks a little funky to me, but the clean top with no gauges, paired with the hidden gauges on the riser is very cool. I'm sure someone will retrofit that to a different model eventually.

This is the breakout verison:
Chrome, and in-line bolts vs. offset like the bob version.
