You speaking of the Gray Ghost? Co worker purchased one for $3500 off her veteran Uncle, tried to give her a little more for it before telling her the story of the 7 ring bike

I have a 1996 Fatboy. I would never expect it to bring what it sold for new. I will never sell it. The bike will still bring a fair price if I did sell it. I have had many offers that I was not looking for.
Few Evo's are worth much right now. That MAY change in the future. Anniversary models are overrated IMHO. They deluged the market with 95th, 100th, and 105th. The two tone paint jobs were just butt ugly from the beginning.
The first "Fat Boy" has yet to be considered valuable, while still kind of rare. They are usually overpriced when they come up for sale. The Harley-Davidson "Bad Boy" Softail Springer's are probably the most coveted Evo right now. The production numbers were pretty low for the three years that model was in production. A cherry original one still only brings about 15K (slightly below what it cost new) while a nice comparable Evo Softail Springer brings only about 8k. Another 20 years and Evos will be like the shovel, except that there were plenty more manufactured and likely sitting in people's garages all across Murica...
I believe you're correct on all points. You may have to add just one; the 1997 FL Springer.
