What could they do to make you reach for your wallet?

Good question, but honestly... I don't think they could do anything for one simple reason. There (In my eyes) is no bike worth $30k, and they will raise the price of the 2020, not drop the price.
I am no longer the MoCo's target audience, and that's fine because there is a very good chance the bike I have will be the last bike I own. Unless I buy a newer bike used at some point down the
road.

Aside for the color (midnight Blue) I can't see no difference from the current Fat Bob 114......still the same bike, right?

Funny how the red reflector on the FatBoy doesn't fill all the stamped indentation in the frame rail, the other's do...

They must be doing this at select dealers because a dealer in Houston got two 2020 bikes. One was a Low Rider. They didn't post the other one.
