Default Ordered my Fatbob (test ride pic!)

Well I plunked down a deposit and ordered my Fatbob. I couldn't decide on mids (that myNightster had)or forward controls so I went back in saturday and took a (unsupervised!) test ride on a floor model with forwards. They said as long as I had it back by the time they closed they were happy, I was quite surprised by this since normally I see them riding along on another bike for test rides.

I ended up with a 08 Fatbob in Denim Black and added a sundowner seat, detachable sissy bar, the synthetic saddle bags (I like the clean, no buckle look), windshield and highway pegs for $16,500. Hope I did OK!

Here is my test ride pic... Can't wait for mine to come in!

Nice bike. Glad you went the right route. Not sure you picked the right color though. Synthetic saddle bags? Can you give me a model or manufacturer?? The better half is asking me to look for bags. Apparently she is looking for something for my birthday. Yea me!!

Are you needing to get the signal relocation kit too? Not looking to go that route, so that's my hold up.

I had my ride configured on HD.com and when I went in to order it that also threw off my sales man, he read it as "Fits '02-later DynaÂŽ models (except FXDF and FXDWG)" not FXDF and FXDWG don't require the relocation kit because they are already placed all the way back.

You didnt say wether you got the mid controls or the forward controls. I bought the same bike same color with the forward controls. I also added the rallyrunner seat and the detatchable sissy bar. Cant wait for spring time I really hate winter now that I finally have my first harley davidson. It is a dream come true. Congrats on the purchase.
