What bike did U get back in 08 when U talking about getting a Sporty or Dyna.??

Even our Heritage will and has scraped the FB's a couple times and being a Grandpa I don't ride very aggressive at all.

Finally, decided to go with the LO and rode it home today. Rode so nice I wound up taking a 100 mile detour from the dealer to home. Thanks everyone for the feedback and advice.

Congrats on the new bike. Looks great. Always nice to see a fresh new one without any mods done to it yet. Have fun doing your thing and ride safe.

Good call on the lo...I love mine. Until you get used to the scraping, think about it going into turns so it doesn't startle you and straighten up. Then start trying to scrape 'em!!

Fat Boy Lo

I bought the 2013 110th Anniversary Fat Boy Lo last September. Best bike I've ever ridden. Perfect for an older guy about 5 foot 8. I can move it around with ease, flat footed. Put on the V&H Big Radius pipes and it is perfect.

I saw the Anniversary edition in the showroom when I first started looking. Very nice color combo, and love the tank emblem. I was definitely tempted but ultimately wanted the all-black.

Absolutely loving the bike. But being an older guy myself my back starts getting unhappy with me on the longer ride. I think my first add-on after a windshield is a seat with a driver backrest.

Anyone have any recommendations on a seat ?
