I am so jealous! i am waiting for my dealer to get the 18 models in right now to see about trading up to a fatboy. i love my night train but i have owned it since it was new in 2007 and have done so many changes that i never wanted a change till i saw the new fatboy. if the ride is as good as they advertise i think i will trade up.

Congrats, which dealer did you get it at?

Going tomorrow to look at the Fat Boy and Bob, but will probably still buy a Road King Special.. But I will admit the new bikes have had me second guessing the RKS for the last couple days. A 114 in a lighter bike sounds very attractive compared to having to buy the stage 4 kit for the RKS to get to 114.

Sonoma County Harley Davidson..

I bought the Road King Special also a couple months ago, in the middle of the build now. Waiting on PM wheels and brakes, just received the Rinehart exhaust. Just finished detailing the motor as you can see..
