Default Fatboy Lo?

For those of you that have a Fatboy Lo, how do you like it, any complaints. Im currently on a 09 Ultra and toying with the idea of selling the Ultra and getting the Lo. Any help would be great.

Both very different bikes. I own a Lo and I love it. It has that old school personality which I love. I love the ride and the handling. I've added my touches to the bike and it really gets a lot of attention wherever I go. Some people even think it is a vintage bike with the denim paint and all. I just feel that the Lo is best without windshields and big bulky bags. But of course everyone has their own taste.

really enjoy mine. Went from a sport 883 to the Lo. Only complaint is as a short guy I have noticed that my reaching for the bars is causing shoulder pain. Prob gonna get new bars this winter to fix that. Love the bike and the ride.

I have a lo and an ultra classic and I use them for very different occasions, kinda like a the difference between a truck and a car lol. You will love the lo, but like Sash said, It's the old skool feel bike and if ur use to a touring bike it might be quite an adjustment. My suggestion is to keep ur ultra and save up for the lo. I couldn't part with either one.

Firemedic, try beachbars, no reach and i love em!

I love mine, no complaits.

Got a laundry list of ideas and wishes that are dictated by the wallet. Soon enough, it will be a blacked out beast.

thanks for the opinions. I don't find myself riding on long trips like i thought i would, a lot of my riding on the ultra is to and from work. I sat on the Lo a couple times and it fits me like a glove. I already have a second bike, 06 Triumph speed triple, so i wouldnt be able to keep the Ultra and get a Lo. One or the other. Was looking at the thread with all the Lo pics and its not making the decision any easier, the Lo is awesome. Thanks again for the replies.
