Default Difference between the 2009 vs 2011 Fatboy model?

Hello Team:

Found a sweet 2009 Fatboy that I am also interested.

What the difference between the 2009 vs 2011. This 2009 that I found comes with the ape hangers. Not sure if I like the looks of the Fatboy with the ape hangers.

What should be the standard looks of the Fatboy? with or without ape hanger bars?

Thank you very much.

Default Update

I went with the 2011.

They were asking too much for the 2009 with 16,000 miles and the 2011 has only 2,300 miles. I am happy camper.

Bike is stock, previous owner just change the exhaust for a non-baffle system.
