I saw the '14 Fat Lo online, Blackened Cayenne, and thought, cool bike. Walked into the dealer and that bitch locked eyes with me and said "take me home now or I'll kick your ***!" ; scared the hell out of me, so I did. Now she won't even let me look at another bike. Guess that's love at first sight.

Jeez. My fatboy is just a bike; no eyes or angry attitude. I think I chose wisely. :-)

That color is stunning in the sunlight. Probably my all time favorite Harley color. My wifes 14 Lo is that color and she gets a ton of compliments on it.

Hated polishing chrome. Wanted the lower center of gravity, and the Lo was already lower than the standard, but mostly I just hated polishing chrome.

I think both of them are the cleanest looking bikes the MoCo makes. Seat height was not a factor to me. I figured no matter which one I got, I would change the exhaust and the front forks. With a regular Fat Boy, I'd be done in that department. But with the Lo, I'd want to "black out" everything else on the bike, costing more bucks. That was my excuse at the time. I'm happy with what I have, but I'm sure I'd be happy with a Lo too.
