I finally made up my mind, and boy, were my friends tired of listening to me agonize over this!!! .... I signed the papers onan '08Black Pearl Fatboy, added a windshield, passenger backrest and an engine guard. Mancuso HD (Houston)delivers it Wednesday. I'm happy, the salesman is happy, the chrome girl is happy, the sales manager is happy and the owner is happy - overall, I'd say everyone made outpretty goodtoday.

photos will be forthcoming... as soon as it get's home.

I got theHD # 49004-00 chrome guard. I didn't let the dealer put any of my options on... gonna do that myself. the only one I'm unsure of is the backrest - I went with the rigid mount side plates. until I get them, I won't know what all's involved.
