Patiently waiting for my new 2012 Fat Boy to come in. Two weeks to go. Traded my Kawasaki Mean Steak in yesterday. I can truthfully say it's going to be a long two weeks but I know it will be worth it. I spent the last several years trying to modify the Mean Steak to be a Harley when the light finally came on why not just get an HD.
My street bob is my first Harley too. I have riding metrics the last few years because of the cost but I finally scrimped up enough loot to buy my Harley.
You are going to love your fat boy but be advised. Buying the bike is just the down payment. Mods are going to empty your wallet faster than it takes to fill it.
Buy a real tuner,you are going to need a capable one to compensate for all the mods you don't know yet that you are gonna do.
