RE: Fat Boy Owners
I think the my Fatboy is Great. I like the overall look and styling of the fatboy and there are thousands of ways to customize them. If your main riding style is touring or 2up then think about a bagger. My next bike will be a bagger but the fatboy is staying in the garage for when I'm just cruzing.

Yes I've spent a lot of money on mine (enough to have a decked out Touring Bike),
but I didn't want a touring bike. Maybe in the future, but not now.
Different strokes, for different folks.

Here's how my situation changed... My wife rides with me a lot more than she used to and like most women, she always wants to bring extra clothes and other junk with her. We tried a bungee net to carry her crap but that was a pain in the butt so I bought a SAC bag for the sissy bar. It seems like the bag is always filled to the brim and it looks like sh_t on there. I'm not spending any more money on the Fatboy because it doesn't work well for us as a two up ride. She's been bugging me to buy a touring bike for comfort and wants me to keep the Fatboy for riding by myself. I'd love to do that but I can't justify (or afford) two bikes in my garage.

Wife likes it, junior loves it (rides with me along the driveway when I get home).
Bike handles very well. 36-40 mpg. No problems at allafter almost 12K in the odo.
I sold my 04 BMW RT1150 and got me an 07 Fat Boy. Couldn't be happier.

I......still don't have bags or a windshield because I like the way it looks without that stuff.

But that's why they make everything detachable, windshields, saddlebags, backrests luggage racks for trunks.
2 minutes you go from a bar hopper to having plenty of room for the wife's stuff. (well almost enough room for her stuff. She's gonna use all you got)
Here's what I mean:
(I have a Harley Shield if I ever go on a big ride, this is just a sport shield that comes off in about a minute,loosening four bolts)

My Fatboy is a 105yr Anniversary limited edition. Mine is number 222 of 4000 to be made with the copper & black. (You can only get these colors when you buy the anniversary model).
It is a kin to a freight train on rails. Very stable, pulls hard, and won't let you off. I bought mine this past July (16th), and I'm coming up on 6,000 miles.

RE: Fat Boy Owners
Well I went from retirement (sold my last road bike back in 2002) and rode only dirt bikes uptill the arrival of the 07 FB. Must say, I wish I would have got into the Harley thing years ago. Can I recommend the Fatboy? Bloody oath.
