Default 1990 Fat Boy
Hello I'm new here and trying to restore a first-year Fat Boy "Grey Ghost" I bought this bike two years ago it came with a SS carburetor and a racing cam
I wish to restore it to all original, looking for a stock cam, stock carburetor, and original air cleaner cover is this the right forum.

I'll look and see if I still have the stock cam out of my '95 Heritage.
What do you consider a racing cam???

Choking that bike back down to EPA standards is a big mistake IMO but we can help you if that's what you really want.

I've got the stock cam I just pulled out of my 1990 Electra Glide. I've also got the stock back plate for the carburetor, but it's had a bunch of holes drilled in it.

I just went and looked I have the stock cam and I've got a CV carb.
You're gonna need to find an intake, backing plate, and filter cover.
What'er you gonna do with that S&S?

My first new bike was a 97 Fatboy and I foolishly sold it 4 years ago and it was completely stock and I had no issues
with the way it ran.
