Thinking about buying a 1996 Fat boy could use some opinions on that year evolution and what to look for.

 

Got any other info on the bike?
'96 was a good year except for the cam bearing.

Make sure it has a carb!!!!!!!!!

 

96-up is the better years for the Evo. Chassis that it sits in is a matter of personal preference based on riding style and looks. As long as it has'nt been overly molested or neglected you should be good to go. Any details about said bike? Pics?

Welcome to the forum.

 

not a lot low miles about three owners only stage 1 upgrades but I'm not looking for a big build.

 

Hey, my 1996 still has a spot in my garage after all those years!
Bought it second hand in 2000 and loved it ever since.

You won't be disappointed in that bike.
Pretty rigid build.
Only things I did to mine were the base gaskets (common to EVO's)
The stator/regulator plugs tend to sweat/leak too.
Would consider a cam upgrade tho.

Now...are you gonna post us some pics?

 

As soon as I decide on which I am going to buy I am looking at a few also a 97 and 98 and a 2003 twin cam fat boy

 

There are so many different models now, the softail market should have plenty of deals. But imho you can never go wrong with a Fatboy.

 

That is one sweet bike you got there

 

So I ended up buying a 1992 fatboy wow! I love the way she sounds.
