HD has once again managed to screw up the looks of a once gorgeous bike. First they got rid of the great looking traditional Fat Boy tank emblem a few years back and replaced it with a busy looking set of lines and symbols. Now they do a half-n-half model with chrome and wrinkle black. Both look great, but not on the same bike!!!

I'm sure glad I decided to buy the 2008. Picked it up a week and a half ago.....July 28th.

In fact, I've been to the dealer and even the black denim version has a CHROMED primary side so no worries, hd's website isn't right. There is no black primary side on the 2009 FatBoy... at least here in Canada...

Looks like HD marketing guys have been reading this thread, as they have modified 2009 fatboy's 3D picture just a few days ago. Now left side is shown in chrome. May be a mistake, may be their purpose... who knows?

Default Now the HD site has FLSTF with chrome and low price

Now the site has chrome on the 360 view, they had to have just changed it. ...thing is, the price is still down. I'm thinking they aren't telling/showing the whole story on the site. Something's up here. ...but maybe it's a short term pricing thing as we all know sales are "off" right now.

It is hard for me to believe that HD had the image wrong for that long. I wonder if they changed their minds after reading the negative posts.

I haven't seen one of these yet. Might stop in at the dealer tomorrow and check it out. Not gonna trade mine it, though.
