Well picked it up today...will get some pictures posted soon. looks sweet with the whitewalls and fishtails. Put about 200 miles on it today. Handles, stops fine so those concerns are now gone. I hate the bars though. Went back in and ordered some 16" apes (thats what I had on my heritage) they should be in friday....Absolutely love it though..

FWIW, the bike you picked is the only new HD I would consider buying. And the color scheme you chose is the one. That bike is absolutely the most beautiful factory bike HD has ever made.

Glad you think the single front disc works well enough to suit you. It's not recommended to put dual discs on a springer front end. You can actually bend the rails from too much brakes.

Looking forward to seeing the pics.

And yeah, I'm jealous!

Congrats on the bike! I have had mine since late November and have enjoyed it very much. I walked into the store to just look at one and walked out with the chopper blue and silver model. So far i have over 3k miles on it and have enjoyed every one of them.
