I agree with the buyers remorse. Give yourself some time with it, you may learn to love it.

My Uncle has a 2009 Fat Boy and I rode it once and did nto like it one bit. Looks good, but I'll stick to my Sportys. Yeah stage II?

I bought a 2011 Kia Soul back in Nov and thougth I love it, had one as a loaner for a few week back last summer so when the buy back from my car came up I got the Soul and not the Foute Koup that I wanted as they did not have a Koup that I wanted and was on a time limit. Well 3 months and 3300 miles go by and I never warmed up the soul and could not think of paying for it for next 4 years so I took a bit of a hit, traded it in on a 2011 Koup and i'm so happy now-love love love my car. If your not happy with the new bike then why pay for it? get something you love.

You will adapt to it, after a while you will wonder why you did not trade sooner. We all think the previous one was better than the current, holds true with cars and bikes.
