Default fatboy, heritage, deluxe
sorry if this has been covered before, but is there any difference other than the accessories in these models?

There's some differences like fenders, wheels, bars, lights, etc. But they're all FL's with the same drivetrain, if you're comparing like years.

just comfort, fit and style I got the one that fit me best out the door because I didn't want to spend the money or time to make the others fit.

Like they all said, it's mostly cosmetic stuff. If you're trying to deside between them, just take them each for a ride... I picked the Heritage because, in part, I like the short little rides in town, or just going to work, but I like the option of taking off for the weekend, and it came with the windshield and bags. Plus I always just loved that bike...

The width of the rear fender and tyre of a deluxe is smaller. 150 instead of 200.
