I have an FLHT (Standard) with a tank badge. What's up with that chit?! Just kidding, had tank damage and insurance covered new tank, so I upgraded to an Ultra tank. I get a lot of strange looks and things like "what model is that?" Hey man, to each his own!

You might want to print out whatever you can from the VIN Decoder and keep it with your paperwork ... just in case you're asked about it when you're ready to sell.

Famous last words that I think we've all heard, lets see what happens a couple of years from now when you go to buy a part and just happen to walk in the showroom by the brand new model that is your favorite color, and....you know the rest, lol.
