He has a RK too, so I would assume he did the typical investigating prior to his purchase...
As said before, some like and some dont...
Just cause the triple cheese combo with fries and a drink is the same price as a double, do you have to buy the triple?
What if you had a late lunch?
Or what if you have plans for ice cream afterward?
Or what if you just dont give 2 ****.
just sayin....

Well said.
What a man decides that something is worth it to him, and he can swing it, that's not for anyone else to judge. Everybody here should be cool with that.
If it was about saving money, we'd all be riding Kawasaki 125s.

I seem to have more vibration in my engine at anything over 60 mph then my buddies softail standard, his bike just runs smoother and with less vibration then mine has.
Also I just dont like the sound of the counterbalanced engine, start one up and then go listen to the engine in a dyna or touring bike, they are quieter, the counterbalanced engine sounds like either an air leak or a scrapping sound.
It just annoys me is all, ill likely be keeping my heritage because didnt sound like id get a good trade when talking to the dealer the other day.

I stopped by my local dealer today to get a live look at one. A friend of mine who's a salesman there was excited to have them on the floor. He expects to sell a lot of the bikes.
That red paint is gonna look like it's electrified when the sun hits it! It looks really good as it sits.
But I would make some changes if I owned one. (What HD owner does NOT?)
1. Wide Glide handlebars.
2. Passing lamps. (not available yet, but on the way according to my friend.
3. Chrome wheel option and more chrome overall.
4. Sissybar, backrest, luggage rack.
5. V&H Real Duals. (again, not available yet, but I'm sure they will be soon.)
Probably some other things, but all I can think of now.

I bought one Sunday, great bike. I traded my Road King Custom and a BMW for it, but went back and re-did the deal on Monday and kept the Road King, the dealer probably (actually I'm sure they do) thinks I'm a nutcase but man, I love my Road King. The FLD is exactly what I was I looking for when I settled for the above mentioned BMW (which I couldn't stand)- something lighter and nimbler for commuting but also good for a longer ride and the ability to carry stuff. Perfect bike for that right out of the box at an acceptable price for what I want it do and a 103 to boot. Harley is going to sell a bunch of these I bet.
