Default 2012 Fatboy
Does anyone know if the price is going to change at all? Also is there anything new on the 2012?

I'm looking at purchasing one and wanted to get the real scoop before heading the stealer.

Looks like they will have the 103. So I would assume a price increase but not sure...

I read that there will be an approximate $500 price hike across the Softail line. Not out of line, I reckon, since they are all getting the 103 motor.

Here is a link with the changes. Looks like new bars, ecm, 02 sensors and belt change. Will find out more Wed. On a side note little surprised by the small softail line up, but I do like the FLD (switchback) if it is priced right and the bags are big enough to carry stuff in. May have to try to load it a couple of times sometimes it wont open

I agree. The Switchback looks like a pretty sweet bike. No 103 motors for Japan, tho.

Thanks for posting! Great information. I wish I could find a downloadable copy of the 2011 Model Year presentation since I bought a 2011 bike.

Looks like they are all going to be 103's too, at least the softails. Read the link, good info.

Don't like the new handlebar on the FLSTF.
