New FXDC - pulled the trigger
Well, I pulled the trigger on a new 2012 FXDC this weekend. My dealer just got one in and it was exactly what I was looking for & we worked out a deal I was happy with, so I'm trading in the Sporty for the Dyna.
Having the dealer install the following accessories on the bike before I pick it up:
super sport windshield
tall detachable chrome sissy bar with pad
turn signal relocate kit
forward controls
SE stage 1 breather with stage 1 download
V & H slip-ons w/ 2 inch baffles
Since my Sporty was paid for & I had a very good credit score, I was able to finance the bike + all of the accessories for 84 months and keep my payments cheap. I didn't need to, but I ended up putting another $1,000 toward it anyway to make the payments even lower.
Thanks for the advise Rooti!
Since I'm having the accessories installed before I take delivery, they will all be covered under the 2 year warranty with the bike...decided this was the best way to go. They sold me the parts for as cheap as I could get them any other place, just going to cost me to have them install but figured it was worth it because of the warranty + I don't have to spend a bunch of time doing it myself & it will be set up already when I get it.
Dealer said parts/accessories will be in in about a week-week & 1/2 & I'll probably pick it up the weekend of the 18th weather permitting.
Will post pics when I get the bike home!
Wish I could have kept the Sporty also, but had to let her go for now to keep my payments affordable.
On another note, the wife has been mentioning taking a rider's course and getting her license this summer....the dealer had a new 48 with the yellow tank they just got in & the wife fell in love with it immediately.
I'd say in the next 1-2 years the wife will have her own bike if it works out. The 48 sure is a fun bike to ride so I hope we can eventully add one to the stable in a year or two!

Love your bars Chief! That's the only other thing I can see doing to my bike is the bars after I save up a little $...what you have looks great!
Thats the first thing I wanted changed. Not a fan of the stock bars. I have a set of Kuryakan forwards, Kuryakan Iso-Wing mini floor boards for the rear and the HD turn signal relo kit to put on when I get the bike home. It's still at the dealer being stored till the weather gets a bit warmer.

Right on, you'll dig it. I sold my 99 Sportster and got an 11 FXDC and haven't regretted it. If I rode over 50 miles on the Sportster I felt like I got my *** kicked. I do 45 miles on the Dyna and it feels like a quick jog to the corner store. Big difference in ride quality out of the box, I haven't felt the need to upgrade the suspension. I also changed out the bars, the stockers were okay for around town but I didn't like them at freeway speed.
