Thanks Y'all... I think you all are right. This bike is great, nothing but pure joy so far. Already put 75 miles on in less than 7 hours of ownership. Don't have to do much to it either, came with Fat Boy saddlebags, passenger floorboards and backrest for the girlfriend. In the future, gonna go with apes and braided lines...can't wait to take pics in the A.M....
(PS. as far as your name, you can change it. I used to be SportyReb, but when my Sportster died, I changed it. Mal74 is short for Malfunction, my nickname I was given in 1974.)
I always consider getting ride of my heritage standard (basically a fatboy). But everytime I drive something else nothing compares to how easy and smooth this bike rides.
Wrecked and totalled my trusty 01 FXD and i miss the old girl. Ended up buying a 00 Fatboy and Like it a lot. I wish I also still had the Dyna, it was a fun bike.
