dealers in my neck of the woods have had 2011 bikes out for some time now. no matter what u buy u will end up with mods to fit ur style. i like chrome... no lo fatty for me.. my fatty sits lower than the fatboy lo with thee mods ive done.

Yea what he said! my .02 Of course for me the decision was easier as there was no Rocker or Lo in 07. I feel sorry for you guys, tough choices. All that being I wouldn't trade my bike for anything else.
Been through a lot together kinda attached.

uote=Nicky Pass;7749852]The other thing I didn't like about the Rocker (gets flame retardant suit on and ready) is the gap from the seat to the rear fender. Once that gap is gone, then it looks amazing......BUT, that is expensive to do. If it was like the heartland kit from the factory I'd probably have bought it!

I would have thought asking the dealer while you were there trying them out would have been prudent. My dealer in St. Charles, Missouri is certainly advertising them.
