You will love it.
&nbsp\\;
I traded my '07 Fat Boy last month and 2,800 miles later have never regreted it.
I believe you will actually be able to take turns faster, not that I want too, but it seems to corner awesomely (is that even a word? LOL).
&nbsp\\;
I kept my screen name so far.
At 210 pounds, I might just be a Texas Fat Boy anyway. hahahahahaha
(Man I need to loose 20 lbs.)

Congradulations, nice ride. The Fat Boy is a nice bike my brother has one. For some reason he wanted to swap and ride my SG one day. After 20 miles he suddenly pulled over and got off of my bike and said he couldn't ride it anymore because it was giving him the fever to trade his in.

Welcome to the other side.

Welcome to the club!

I sold my '07 Fat Boy and bought an '08 Electra Glide over the winter. I think you'll find the ride and comfort level greatly improved. Best of luck with your new ride. &nbsp\\;
