The fuel moto is interesting. For what the dealer wants to charge, I can get the 117 from fuel moto, installed. Now I have to do more digging. I have an appointment with the shop this weekend to configure my build. I'll have to see why they are so much higher than fuel moto.

WOW.......Dealer selling a bike and they have absolutely no info on it....I think I'd tell them to go pound salt.... These aren't the old days where ya had to wait a long time and get on a list for a bike. There are alot of good bikes to be gotten. I'd be a little worried with the lack of information. Whats that Latin thing, "Carpe Diam....Let the buyer beware" Just my thoughts. Good luck.

I knew it was something like that.......Always good to know Krustee has my back......oh, by the way.....Nice to meet ya Krustee. I really don't think the Dealer would have a complete history, but would expect them to have some information. Didn't seem like they had any. Unless your buying a junker, they should still have some facts of the bike. Just my opinion, Guess I have never really shopped for a Used bike from a Dealer, probably equate it to looking for a used car at a Dealer, and even though it's used, there is alot of information on it.

by the former owner was a bit much. If you've ever traded in a car or bike, they don't really ask you anything about the history. They are more concerned with making a sale.

Probably not the work done outside a dealer,, but I am thinking any work done by a HD Dealer is in a computer somewhere matched to a bikes Vin No., IF so then I'd think that info could be retrieved..
anyone else know if that'd be true?

I just bought a 2011 FatBoy from the stealer and they say they have no info on the bike. All they say is "what you see is what you get". The bike is in great shape and runs great but that's all I can tell. It obviously has a Stage I because I can see the Rineharts and Screamin Eagle intake.
It's not a real smooth start like stock bikes and it definitely has some gitty up, so I'm wondering what else has been done. Is there any way to guess what's been done other than ripping it apart?

from what I have researched lots of people like fuel moto. I would like to get my electra glide ultra limited to the 100 horse power mark. doing the stage 1 this spring and am going with power vision and jack pot headers from fuel moto. already got the arlen ness big sucker.
I definitely don't have the "loping". I remember hearing it on some custom bikes.
