Me too! I gotta 4-month-old FatBob which I really DO enjoy so far.

DITTO... however seeing as how I am already on my second bike of the year, I'm planning on just adding bags vs getting a different bike that has them....

Went to get my tag @ the dealership today but it wasn't ready. Took the sundowner seat and sissy bar/pad I had bought for the Sportster with me and convinced them to take it back for a refund minus the cost of labor for cash towards stuff on the RK. They agreed to my surprise.
So whenever I have another day off, probably Tuesday I will take the new bike in for a sissy bar/pad for the wifey. They couldn't do it today because I got there at almost 5pm and they still had a bunch of jobs to finish. Made my day, I really wasn't expecting them to go for it. Goes to show you it never hurts to ask, worse they can say is no. Now I only lose the labor cost from the last time instead of also losing half the money or more that parts cost me if I would have sold them online. Don't have to deal with shipping stuff to anyone either. Faxed in the paperwork to cancel the extended service plan on the sporty too, so in a week or so I will have the $$ back from that to put back in the bank. Good for 3 years with road side on the RKC so I can always add 3 more later if I choose to.
The more I ride the bike the more I like it. Stock seat hasn't been bad at all thus far, but it will take a weekend out with the crew to properly evaluate that.
Used the cruise control yesterday morning for the first time and man is that an awesome feature.
Edit: Forgot to mention I picked up the air pump for the shocks while I was there today.

If you look at the setup closely (with the seat off) you can see that it is fairly easy to do the install yourself. Save on the labor. But I highly recommend that you get the four point mounting kit. That way you can take the sissy bar off and on, and eventually add a tour pack for long trips such as Ocala. Then you will have the ability to change up that configuration at will. I'll be putting my tourpak back on this weekend. My wife and I are each going out of town for work, each in different directions. So I need to take the bike as it is my only vehicle.
