I have a FatBoy and if I were looking for another bike, I would definitely be getting the Blackline. I've traveled all over the country on my Ironhead, so comfort is subjective. I bet the Blackline is plenty comfortable....

I love both. Recently bought a Fat Boy Lo. I like the position of the speedo on the blackline, but I think they ruined the lines of the tank with the gloss black "hump." The H-D design team didn't do as good a job as micahpop (on this Forum) did on his Rocker tank.
A blackline with a 3.3 gal peanut tank and a wider front wheel would have found a place in my garage, but it would have cost a lot more than my FLSTFB.

I just got the Blackline. I was too looking at the Fat Boy and liked both very much. At the end a better deal on the Blackline convinced me. Either one will be o.k. as long as you like'em.
As someone said here, one Harley is better than none.

I was in the same boat and as you can see I went with the Blackline 
and custom built it to suit me 
I like being different from the rest and when we all park up, she gets a lot of attention

The main reason I chose the Lo was the rear tire being 200mm and the Blackline is skinny. I wanted the bigger rear tire but eventually want to get rid of the wrapped head light but keep the fat front end.
