Congratulations! I followed a very similar path of desire (except substitute Street Bob for Blackline). I'm so glad I went with the Deluxe. I wouldn't have been as happy with anything else. Hope you enjoy it!
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that belongs to this forum. I've been looking at harleys for a while and originally wanted a 48 sportster, then a blackline, then a fat boy lo and finally I've made my decision to go with a 2012 Softail Deluxe. I pick it up in the morning. Thankfully this forum pointed me in the right direction and I think I'll be content for a longtime with the deluxe. Im stoked. its going to be hard to sleep tonight... Thanks again you guys saved me a lot of time and probably a lot of money seeing how I'm getting the bike a really want the first time around.

I have to say I was very surprised how well the bike handles, I wasn't expecting it to be nimble at all but to my surpise once she was rolling down the rode all that wieght dissapeared.
A few mods to do before spring:
-Move the license plate down to the bottom of the fender.
-Get a bib and remove the rear seat / rack
-Vance and Hines Big Radius 2 into 2 exhaust, once broke in. Does anyone know if these come with removal baffles and if they do how do they sound if taken out?
-RSD Air Cleaner and cover
-Power Commander 5 or Vance and Hines Fuel Pack..i'm still undecided.
These should keep me saving for a while lol
