Anyway, let's move on... We've mucked up Wachuko's thread enough and he already answered my original question.
No worries... do share photos when you buy your Fat Boy S

Also, the Fat Boy S has the same height as the Fat Boy Lo. So seat height is the same for both bikes...

So have you figured out how many months exactly it takes you to get bored of a motorcycle? I will be getting mine in the spring, but yours might come up sooner.

I'm not rich enough to own them all at once, so I have to do it one at a time! Haha, whatever I end up with I plan on keeping a while (I always tell myself that).

One thing I learned since owning two Harleys are that you mod till you no longer want or cant. The. Sell or trade.
Others decide to build one from the ground up.
