Thanks for the feedback. To the comment about the regular fatboy, I was thinking I should at least try to take that for a test ride as well to see how it feels and if the additional lean angle is noticeable against my riding style.
They are both very nice looking bikes. The Lo just felt so good and love the black on black look. The fit to my body was perfect (5'9").
And to the question on when, I'd love to settle on a choice within the next few weeks. Weather is starting to get nice here in NJ.

Mike -- lol, that is pretty funny. Your right. Life is too short, should just pull the trigger.
Having said that, I took a test ride on a regular Fatboy today. There was a noticeable difference with the lean angle. I scraped with simple intersection turns on the Lo, on the regular it was fine.
So seems like between the two.... Lo just looks and fits great, but lean angle is noticeable. The regular more chrome, nothing against that but but like blackout, but lean angle not as noticeable with test rides.
I'll flip a coin tonight to try to end this before 2021

I love our Lo and yep I scape the boards ALL the time and all my riding buddies now call them my curb feelers. I don't worry the least about the boards scrapping, the low has a better feel to me than the standard Fatty so that's what we got. I can lay it into a corner and stay right with my buddies on there street glides and ultras. I use them kinda like crotch rocket riders use there knees... when they fold half way up I know that's were I hold her....
Get what you like and just ride it safe both are great rides!
