To have any hope of getting more than the "very good" NADA price...the bike would need to be 100% stock...I see several mods that would detract from the value...the seat, exhaust,,,and that backrest has almost certainly damaged the painted struts...

Per NADA
A 1990 Fat Boy: Excellent cond: 10475.00, Very good 6440.00 Good 2895.00, Fair 1325.00, This is somewhere to start and what most lenders use to establish a loan amount, what your market will bear could be any ones guess. Per your picture it looks to be in excellent condition so If you find the right buyer you might get close to high book, If your market is like ours out here I doubt you will. Good luck if you decide to sell.

$10,475 will never happen, not in this market! start at $7000 & good luck with that, I see a lot of Evo`s going for $4500 give or take, the days of getting top dollar are not there anymore, you can buy a 2012 road king, Heritage for $11,000 with LOW miles....
good luck, but price it too high & you might as well keep it.

Nice looking fatboy. I'd say in my part of the country you could ask 8500, maybe even 9000 IF you got lucky and found the right buyer AND if you didn't mind holding it for a year or more.
Finding that right person who really wants that bike is the key. I'd cast a wide net, including ebay, several websites and taking it to large rallies with a for sale sign attached.
It is a sweet ride.

OP do some due diligence and research going with bikes of the same year and condition in your area within a few hundred mile radius, check craigs list in cities all over, Ebay and other cycle trader type places to get an idea on real world pricing, all you'll get in here is nice bike why you selling it and over inflated notions of value.
Honestly $6-7k could be realistic if someone's looking for that bike.

I haven’t really decided if I was going to sell it , I have been hearing a lot of different things about this bike being that it’s a gray ghost so just kind of curious if there was somebody out there that knew more about it than I did. I really appreciate all the help in comments

Well it is the original first year Fat Boy in the only color produced that first year so someone, a collector, may be willing to pay more than so called book value but unfortunately it is not stock. If you can find an original seat, exhaust, tank panel, and whatever else is needed to restore to stock at reasonable prices that would add to the value. I would not be concerned about the sissy bar, The rear fender tip is also not stock.
