eBay is usually a pretty good gauge of what's what...

Here's one I stumbled on while surfing...

(Not mine, nor do I know, or know of the owner....)

That would be the one to watch and see what it sells for. I like the bike but i like to ride so if it was me I would buy something newer for the same price. To me this bike is something that you keep stock and keep low miles and thats not me. I was losing sleep over buying a softail a few weeks ago i love the evo softails for there looks and sound and had my mind made up to find one. My buddy who was a twin cam guy found me the 2003 that I just got and the deal was a deal you could not pass up. Now after buying the 2003 softail i could never look back its a real "riding bike" its smooth,fast ,reliable and a bike you can spend all day on. I will allways have a sweet spot for the evo bikes but this gray ghost seems to me like a bike you dont use much and after riding a softail its hard to stay off it lol

The TCs lost something in the styling department.If I was buying a bike for the TC motor I`d get another model that isn`t based on style like the Softails.I`d also buy a rubber mount.The Evo Softails are awesome,reliable,and so much easier to keep running.I`d rather have an older Evo that an older TC.
If this was my only Harley I`d want one I could rack up miles on.having a collector bike is cool as long as you have one to ride that you really like.It`s funny,I can`t afford any collector bikes these days,so I just have a rider...a`90 FLST.

Looks about right, especially noting the recent Ebay listing sold @ around $8,200.

Most bikes have a reserve, but the max. bid shows what the market is willing to pay, and for a STOCK 1990 FatBoy that appears to be around $8k +/-
