Fatboy Years 2000-2004 Questions
Have been looking at the FB's in the years 2000-2004's as they can be found within my budget of $10k-$12k. From what I can tell these years are basically the same with a 1450 motor and 5 speed. Other than some are Carbed or EFI, what can you tell me about those years that I should know and possibly avoid. For instance, should I avoid the year 2000 because thats the first year with the 1450? Or get one with EFI but maybe not a certain year because that was the first with EFI and it had problems or ...?
Thanks! \\;

Personally I would rather have the carbeurated bike. Mine is an '03 and That is the only year I really know about. About the only thing I would avoid is paying too much, you can't go wrong with a Fartboy.

I have an 02 fuel injected model
no major problems at all...I'm at 58K now
@ about 30K my TSSM went out at the Richmond Va Hog Rally..changed the Cam chain tensioners @ 48K,and I put the automatic tensioner in the primary @ 50K
 \\;
nothing else but tires and oil and gas .......
 \\;
every one tells me the '02 was the bike to have
the way mine runs,I believe they're right

What did they change from the 02 to the 03 that made the 02 the bike to have?
