I hear you. Congrats. One of my main reasons for moving "up" was because I was tired of backpacks / throw overs just to carry what I needed for work and the proper gear for weather changes.
Hopefully I can add a stripped down mid 90s Dyna or Softail to the garage in the next few years.

Why are you waiting till spring? You can probably get one at a fair price now since the weather is changing

I have a buddy who sold his bagger and bought a new Wide Glide. He couldn't be happier. In his mind he was moving up.

I did the same thing. I Sold My E-Glide and bought a Softail. I hated the bagger, although tons of storage space and convienent, it was like riding a couch with casters under it.

Just not my thing.

Congrats on the new bike you're getting.

I recently sold my '08 Ultra Classic and moved to a BMW K1200LT. I was hoping Harley would offer a water cooled bagger in 2013, but it didn't happen. I plan to get another Harley in the spring, perhaps a used Night Train or Softail Custom.

Might get some removable bags too. Plan to pick it up in the spring. Can't wait.

Congrats and great choice. If you haven't done so already go visit the Calling all FatBoy Lo owners thread in the softail section. Great stuff there.
