need Fatboy advise
so I finally decided to get a Harley and narrowed it down to a Fatboy.
would it be worth the cash to buy a 07 or newer since it has the 96 in and the 6 speed?
or get an older one and add to it?

it was worth it for me to get a new '08.

It all depends on what you are after and how much you want to spend.

RE: need Fatboy advise
well I want to be able to go on longer rides than I could on my sportbike (I'll get bashed for admitting that, but hey I finally came around) and dont want to be left behind the pack.
what I'm really asking is the 96 that much more powerfull than the 88 ?
is there that much diffrence?
lets say I can get an 05 for $13,000 or a 07 for $17,500, should I spent the diffrence on mods over the next few months?

go with the 05. with 3500 you can do an awesome 95" build and chrome it out.

If you go the 07 just remember you need about 1000 more for stage 1 or it will burn you and the engine. Go 09 water cooled.

When did theMOCO announce water cooled in 09, or what is your source?
