I do think they look better in person, but I don't disagree with some of the criticisms about it. Still, a really nice bike and it fits me like a glove.

I don't want to insult anyone but please take a closer look at one in the showroom. Some parts are gloss black, some are satin black, the satin chrome does not look like brushed aluminum it looks like cheap aluminum ceramic coating.
To me it looks like something thrown together from black accessories that didn't sell last year with no real design or plan.
A agree 100%, in photos it looks very cool but when I saw the real thing I was shocked that Harley would actually produce something like this.
I totally agree...saw it in person...sat on it etc...I have a '09 Fat Boy denim black and the Vivid Black I saw in the showroom looked cheap with all the different "colours"....the satin/brushed nickle or aluminum look I think is awful. They should have blacked it out with chrome highlights, like the Fat Bob...I was so disappointed with how it looked in person to be honest.
I like the gas tank emblem though....my '09 beats the Lo and I put on a Corbin seat which lowered my riding position..same as the '10 Lo.....I am adding curved risers and I think I will be looking at almost a reclining position!
Just MHO and this is not meant to offend anyone who owns one!
