The day has finally arrived!
So I get home from work and there is a voicemail from the local dealership letting me know my Fat Bob has finally arrived (ordered in January). Only problem is I'm still waiting on some slip-ons and ape hangers to come in. So I'm left with the choice to pick it up now or wait until the parts come in and they put them on. What would you do? You can imagine I've been waiting a long time for this to come, but I don't know how much fun it will be to get my bike just to turn around and drop it off at the shop again a few weeks later. Thoughts?

If you leave it there I guess you could go visit it once in awhile. Go pick it up and ride it then take it in when your parts arrive! Dont waste a great weekend knowing your bike is waiting to be picked up!

Same thing happened to me. Told them I would wait. That lasted 2 days got the bike and rode it until the parts came. Went and got parts and did the install myself. Crap now I do all my stuff and F'in love it.

I would go pick up the bike, toss in a service manual, and cancel the service appointment for the installation of the pipes and bars. You can definitely do that yourself. Who knows, you may ride it for a week and decide to stick with the bars, or go with somethng different. Enjoy!
