About to pull the trigger.
Emax, unless you plan on riding in lots of rain, i wouldn't worry about abs... I have it on my BMW which i ride in the rain a lot, but i like not having it on my FatBob...
If you really want to save some cash, take lo-riders suggestion and look at used, i got mine, it was 10 months old, with 6,000 miles for 13,000 with goodies thrown in , same dealer as a 4 month old FXDF now, with 341 miles, almost same price... Dealers here wont negotiate much on new, but used, everything is negotiable...

Ok guys I am about to pull the trigger on a 2012 fat bob big blue pearl w/abs what do you guys think is a fare price? Hear are the #s the bike is 15,734.00 + abs 1,195.00 + 995.00 F/P + tax 1,546.00 + tags 200.00 = 19,670.00 out the door these are right out of the book. So what is a fare # I should haggle them down too? I plane on going to the three dealers in my area to get prices just wanted to know if any one has a good # I should try to get them down too any help would be appreciated thanks again Emax.

I don't know if dealers can haggle nowadays. Prices seem to be set by HD themselves, and the dealers just list what they're told to list them at. New ones anyway, I think old year models are bought out by the dealers, and sold at their own discretion. I could be wrong though, it may be different in the States.

Dealers around here don't haggle much on new bikes. It depends on time of year, if it's a leftover, sales numbers etc. From what I am told the MoCo has them locked in as far as price. If you have a trade you may be able to do a little better because they can "hide" the money off MSRP. My dealer gave me a $500 gift card for the dealership plus 10% off parts but the bike was MSRP. You may be able to do better but don't be surprised if not.
Forgot to add, we were also planning on buying my wife a new Sportster (and did) from the same dealership. It didn't make any difference on price for either.

I love the color Big Blue pearl.. Thats what i got my 2012 FatBoy Lo in! Out in the sun the flakes really pop and the blue looks amazing! In the shade it looks dark blue and at night it looks black. Sweet color for sure!

When I bought my new Dyna Street Glide Custom the dealer reduced the price $1000 right off the bat. I then negotiated 20% off any parts or equipment we needed. I got a windshield, rear sissy bar, Screaming Eagle Exhaust, front controls, 2 riding jackets and 2 helmets. They will deal if you find the right dealer.
