&nbsp\\;Good advice, well I did it, I crunched the numbers and went with the 08 fat boy sunglow red (miss pronounced it earlier) I test road one and thought it was the way to go, very vestal bike.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Even though it was more then I cared to spend I think I made the right choice, having a bike that you don’t like means that it will not get ridden.&nbsp\\; Got the full V&amp\\;H long shot, staggered, top cut pipes, and a windshield for the longer rides.&nbsp\\; All I need now is some bags and maybe a better seat down the road.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
will post a pic after I pick here up on the 10th!&nbsp\\;

You made the right choice.&nbsp\\; I "settled" for a Softail standard 2 years ago.&nbsp\\; Not that I haven't enjoyed every moment I've spent on it, but now I am trying to sell it to get a Street Glide.&nbsp\\; I wish I had taken the advice here the first time and rode them all (I have since) and got what I really wanted no matter the cost.&nbsp\\; I won't make the same mistake a second time.&nbsp\\; Enjoy your Fat Boy theyu're great bikes.
