Default 2015 Fat Boy Lo

Thinkink about trading for a 2015 Fatboy Lo. Does anyone know if HD made any significant changes in the 2015 Lo's from the 14's?
Thanks
Dave

I picked up the 2014 Fat Boy Lo at the beginning of October. Other than Paint colour and price, not sure physical differences.

Could not get the custom Daytona blue in a 2015 and the price was great. Dealer was clearing out the 2014's to make room for the 2015's.

The only major change is the braking system was updated for the 15 models. taken from the HD website "this year delivers a 40 percent reduction in the amount of lever force required at peak braking. The handlebar master and front cylinders have been restyled. There's a new 4-piston fixed caliper with 32 and 34 mm pistons, premium caliper piston coating to minimize initial displacement and a larger 300 mm rotor. It all adds up to more stopping power with less effort."

As stated just new colors and a new and improved braking system. The 14's should be discounted but the improvements to the softail braking system might be worth the extra coin. Either way you'll be getting a great bike.

The brakes are not the Rushmore linked system, but they are supposed to be a good jump above the prior setup.
