Ya at least Harley makes a nice looking back rest(except for the silver rack)for the Night rod for a passenger im thinking that will help alot. Plus you could always take that pillion and have it stuffed thicker with better foam for comfort. I would like to hold off for the 2013s but i remember last year when i was looking at the 2011 i was holding off for the the 12 Night rod and all the dealers said it takes them alot longer to get the vrod line in then the traditional Harleys for the new year! Most of them said they wouldnt have them in till November. Just something to think about. It might be different where your from! So i made the decision to get the Fatboy in august cause i wasnt waiting till the late fall and then not get to ride.

 

Here in Florida we are loaded with Dealers
I have at least 12 dealers within 150 miles.

 

I have alot of dealers here too. But they all said the new Vrods wouldnt be in till around Nov.. 1 dealer said he might be able to get one in at the end of sept at the earliest but it was not a guarantee. I would just ask your local dealer just say if i wait for the 2013 Night rod when will it be in buy? Like i said it might be different where your at! Also if you get a 2012 right now being that they launch the 13's in july you will get a better deal on it. My dealer already quoted me $15,299 OTD ON A 12 Denim black.. If i wait till the 13's come out they will wack me probably around $16,500 OTD! Plus my trade will be worth less money.
