Default Price Drop on 09 Fatboy

With the price drop... was wondering if any poor buyer got an 08 just before the 09 news hit and if so,, did the dealer make it right... I would be so pissssssed if I bought an 08 on day then see the price drop on the 09..

The 09 comes with less chrome than the 08. Replacing the primary, horn cover ect would make up the difference in price.

I think the lucky guy is the one who gets the sweet deal on the 08 as the 09s are not near as nice, (less crome)

When you buy something, particularly a non-essential such as a motorcycle, you make the deal and pay the money.&nbsp\\; Presumably you were happy with the deal you made or you would not have signed on the dotted line.&nbsp\\; Don't keep looking back.

The 09 book shows a chrome primary cover on a Fatty. It may or may not be correct. Anyone actually seen one in person?
