Saw a Fat Boy Lo - What do you think?
Hey guys,
I just recently posted a thread about my softail vs night rod debate. Couldn't decide which to buy.
Well, I just saw a 2012 Fat Boy Lo tonight and fell in love!
It has 3466 miles. Black. No security or ABS unfortunately, but I can live with that. Saddle bags. Sissy bar. Clean!
We agreed on $13k. Does that sound like a good deal to you guys? He owes $13k on the loan so that is what we agreed on.
We are supposed to go down to my local credit union tomorrow morning to get paper work done and finalize the deal.
Here's a picture. Let me know what you guys think. I would greatly appreciate that!
Thanks,
Adrian

That's enough for me. Go for it.
It's a nice looking bike with Lo (no pun intended) mileage and a very good deal for a 2012.
If you do get it, post back and we can help you spend every last dime you have on it.

Those bags and crash bar would DEFINITELY be the first things to go. No doubt about that. However, pillion and sissy bar will stay due to my wife LOVING to ride with me.
If everything works out tomorrow, I'll be going ahead with the deal. It is super comfortable. VERY smooooooooth! Felt much different then my Dyna did! That's for sure!

I agree, I think you got a good deal for a Dealership. Maybe a little less if it were from a private owner. I also agree with the others that it needs "cleaned up". Dump those bags, reflectors, sissy bar and rear seat. I have a buddy at work who just went out and bought his first bike, ever and he's my age, 56. He bought a Fatboy but I wish he would have come and gotten me, knowing I'm home on disability and not chit to do. I would have tried my very best to steer him in the direction of a Fatboy Lo instead. Check this, I asked him what made him go buy a brand new bike for the first time ever and he said it was my heart attack and triple bypass. He said it was time for him to start living a little. I told him I was glad I could help you Dude!! By the way, what are all the differences between the two? I only know of 1 or 2 things. I am not well versed in much other than the Deluxe and Heritages.

Sounds good, they are still asking in the high 15's around here with triple the miles that one has. Big plus is you have met the previous owner and with that you can generally get a good idea of how the bike was treated. Don't forget to stop by the "Calling All Fat Boy Lo Owners" thread, we can help get rid of all that extra cash you have lying around.
