So i am just about ready to put a down payment on one, but am still struggling with which colour to order. I saw the army one last night in person, and it looked great. Then when I sit on it, not so great. Pics of me on the Black one look a lot tougher. This does matter you know.

Every time I ask my friends or family about which colour they like best, everyone one of them pics the black one. Everyone worries about the army one being too trendy, but think the black will stay classy. I found this pic on the web to confuse me even further.

Picking a color based on the opinions of others is not going to satisfy you. You're the one riding it.

Also, the bike is the prize, not the color. If my dealer had the black version instead of the olive gold, I would still have bought it. One can have three tins painted for $500-1000. Cheaper if you know a painter.

Woo hoo somebody else with a Fatboy S! Hoping to get a few miles on mine today and reach 1000 miles.

You're going to need alcohol to prevent from being distracted on your holiday.

Congratulations on the bike, hurry back from Switzerland!

BTW, maybe you already commented, but what size baffles did you order with your slip-ons?

By now you're probably pacing around the dealership awaiting the handover. Let us know how it goes when you finally get home. I haven't seen the Fatboy S in person yet. It's got to be a great bike. The Fatboy Lo is already a great bike.
