Default New 2012 Fatboy Lo

Long time metric bike rider. Stopped in to the Harley Dealer to take a look at a Fatboy Lo, test rode it and bought it! Bitchin'!! Holy crap is this bike fun to ride!!

I got the denim black paint, abs, california emissions for $18,500 out the door. I didn't steal the bike, but I think I did OK.

Now I'm just looking at all the goodies to throw on it.... hhhhmmmmm....

Cool and enjoy.


Be careful about adding stuff, The sky is the limit. There is so much Harley and aftermarket stuff for Harleys that It's sick.

Welcome Jim_bo
nice purchase on the Blk Denim, of course I might be a little bias Like other have said check out the FatBoyLo thread. There is a ton of info and pix of mods. Once you start modding it is hard to stop. Enjoy the ride and get us some Pix.
Happy Easter
