As it's an Evo, you could also try the Evo forum at EVO - Harley Davidson Forums

I agree about the tank. At first glance I thought it was a clone bike, but if OP DaveRides likes it, then it's no problem.

DaveRides: That's awesome. Good luck with it and post pics if you change it around at all.

EVO era Fat Boys did not come from the factory with aux lamps.

OP, check the VIN, is it a Harley or a clone?

The VIN checks out. It's a 1996 FatBoy. The exhaust is a Thunderheader. The Dynojet must do something with the timing. It's run great, so I'm not touching it. Throttle response is amazing!
