RE: Fat Bob availability...lol
I read a newspaper article that stated:
" Harley's sales are slowing in the US, with some dealers even offering discounts on the quiet for the first time in years, so the company's new concentration on European expansion has come at an opportune moment. The Fat Bob look reflects European custom trends, which means a double headlamp and fat front tyre with big twin discs."
I don't know if this is correct. I do know however, that the new XR 1200 is on show at the NEC bike show in England next week and this will be the first bike in the company's 104 year history to be released exclusively outside of the United States. I believe it goes on sale in Europe in April 2008. I think it's a great looking bike and if I hadn't ordered a new Fat Bob I might have been very tempted.

The dealer I orderedfrom has (or had, a few weeks ago)a dk blue pearl with forwards they were trying to get me to swap to, if that combo does anything for ya. It's in southern Wisconsin, closer than the east coast. VERY reputable dealer. I'm getting msrp out the door, no setup or prep fees, saved about a grand.

Oh but just remembered you're in Cali, may need one with Cali emissions, but maybe a fellow Cali rider can loan you his emission crap, I think most rip that puke tank off the bike. Unless there is some special Cali/CARB label on the Cali version, then it might be a struggle to buy out of state.
