Not much change in model years basics are
2007 new model 96 engine 6 speed (off set front end which some people just dont like the look of or some people say they have had tire wear issues)
2008 Harley go back to normal front end
2009 mod in gear box on 5th 6th gear ? helical cut for less noise I think and you could choose chrome wheels as option in states on UK thet were standard
2010 two models now Fatboy lo and standard model ( I love the lo apart from the lowered suspension as I grind my boards all the time on standard bike!!)

i AM SURE THERE IS MORE BUT THAT IS THE BASICS I THINK ???

The Rear is offset as well on the 07 FLSTF, that is why Harley offset the front so the bike would track properly... ONLY the standard 2007 Fatboy is offset though... The 2007 Screaming Eagle is correct... and as someone stated earlier the problem was corrected in 2008 on the standard Fatboy...
