Would've liked to see black mufflers, and black lowers, but other than that they did a good job, I want one in a bad way.

Meh.... It has too much chrome on the motor to be a "Dark" bike. When you look at the FB, it doesn't have the "bad boy" look to it that the NT does either. I honestly can't believe that they disco'd the Train for this.

The MOCO made a mistake IMO..... They should have kept the NT and added a "Dark Custom" Street Glide with a blacked out motor.

I've never been a Fatty fan so this bike does nothing for me. As far as the whole " Dark Series " - I like the concept and know its hot right now but it could be so much more. If you go black then go all the way black. Why does this bike ( and the Cross Bones etc ) have so many non-black pieces on it. The Iron and Street Bob come real close to getting it right. A little chrome mixed in is nice but I mean a little. Grey/matte or anything polished has to go.

I'm not a Fatty fan either.... can't stand the rear fender and front tire. Anyway, The moco did have it right with the NT. Everything wrinkle black with a touch of chrome in places and the customizing options are endless (look at the NT thread). Oh well, makes me appreciate what I have more.

If I was looking to get a new Fatboy, I'd get the LO just to get the "right" tank emblems. Can't imagine why Harley messed with that on the 07-09 Fatboys. I like this bike. Got me thinking.

Nothing says you can't start another poll?
