i've said this before, but I would love to see someone take the White FLSTFB and instead of blacking it out like we all do, white it out.

congrats

Thanks guys. It honestly was a tough decision between the black and the white. Husband views the white as a "girls" bike, but if that deters him from jumpin on it....who cares...LOL.

I'm coming from a 09 Sporty 883 Custom, so it's a huge jump for me....a little nervous and anxious for that first ride. Any tips?

Congrats!

No tips here other than stay away from the thread calling all fatboy lo owners.

It will drain your bank account rather quickly.

My buddy is on an 883 and I let him sit on my scoot (before I put the ape hangers on) and he is now determined to get a lo......

Welcome and enjoy the ride!

You"ll do fine on that first ride. Although the Fat Boy is larger than the Sporty, it's an incredibly balanced bike and will ride really smooth on the road. Good Luck and congrats on the new Fat Boy.
