For my 08 FB I choose black. It's nice to know that I will have the first one in the city where I live. I am still debating about the BigRadius over the BSS. I do believe they sound similar, but I think the BR are a little bit closer to the rear footpeg. I have a 11yr old son, so I'm guessin I will have a passenger most places I go.

The big radius just give it a cool look. My 11 year old daughter rides with me all the time. I just wish they had more of the deeper sound.

Nice Fatty Buckeye. I notice you have the reflectors on your forks but not on your fender struts (at least that is what I think they are called, new to this). How did you remove them?
It is illegal NOTto have reflectors in the back side of the bike. When I ordered my bags, sissy bar and rack for my FB I had to remove them, otherwise the brackets will not fit. HD instructions ask you to relocate the reflectors by "drilling two holes on your bag" !![:@], they even provide the replacements. I said F@kk that. I've seen new bikes at the showroomwith thereflectors glued to the upright chrome part of the sissy bar, Looks like crap.
