Fat Boy vs. Fat Boy Lo
a normally reliable friend told me the Lo rides harsh compared to the standard FB. But a dealer told me the suspension is the same, just the Lo has a low profile seat. that seems conflicting info.
anyone have a better take on this?

They ride the same to me. The seat profile is lower on the Lo.

I rode both before I bought my LO I could not tell a difference suspension wise between the two. They both rode better then my old 96 FB.

Sounds like your friend is just plain wrong....
My lo is damn near a lazy boy on 2 wheels.
Whats next? Is he going to tell you the denim black is more comfortable than the gloss black bike? Something about the flux capacitor difference between the 2 paint schemes

Other then the lower profile, the only difference between the two that I've come to know is the standard Fat Boy has "Mirrored Chrome" and the Fat Boy Lo has "Satin Chrome"... if you like the lower profile of a Lo and prefer a higher shine from your Chrome then you can simply get a standard Fat Boy and lower it to match the Lo... Cheaper to have your bike's tank and fenders PC'd denim black then it is to swap out a new engine over something as trivial as Chrome-Shine.
