Default Would you FatBoy Gurus check this ad/bike for me?

Hi guys.

Found a bike at a local custom shop for sale, wondered if you could check the ad and see if it makes sense? You know, the old 'if it seems to be too good to be true...'

http://www.lasvegaschoppers.com/Harl...Boy/index.html

A am certainly no expert (yet!) but a couple things in the ad I am not sure about.

First, 103" motor? In an '02?
2200 miles? Really?
Looks like pegs on the rear fender braces. For quick release bags?
Ad says 200 tire on rear, but in the pics, it looks smaller that that.
And, what is 'FIN GPS Tracking/Security Device' listed in the upgrades?
Finally, $10k? Too much/too little?

I have not seen it in person, nor called to talk to the dealer, as I want to know as much as I can about it before asking him idiotic questions (rather sound ignorant here).

Anything else your eyes catch, and thank you very much!
Michael

I am unclear if it is titled as a Harley, or has a clean title. It seems someone wanted a fat rear tire and bigger motor on an older bike which is possible, but I'd have to talk to the people selling it and see what kind of answers they come up with. If suspect at all I would look elsewhere.

that doesn't look like a 21" in the front to me, and that doesn't look like a 200mm in the rear.. 180, maybe.. 150-160, definitely..but not 200. 103"..ehh can't tell.

Exactly. The pics seem to be different from the text.

OK, that is enough, I will continue the looking elsewhere.

Thanks Dr-V and Sgt_Jim!

I called, the bike is sold and it seems the woman answering the phone has no clue what I was asking about the wheels and the motor.

I agree, looks like the pictures do not match the description.
Looks like a standard FLSTF with a set of Big Shot Staggered, and engine guards.

My 2002 Heritage had a 103" with HD 6 speed tranny when I bought it used. Ran like a scalded ape. Guy put a ton of cash into it. Anything is possible.

Not that it matters now, but there's a dent in the rear fender...bottom right. And that tire looks like 150 max.

Could have been bored out to a 103 and that would explain the 2200mi (meaning on the new bore).
Those are V/H pipes.
The front tire is a 140 and not on a 21" wheel and the back is a 160 at best.
The pegs on the struts are for a sissy bar (backrest attachment).

Actually a nice bike and if it has a 103 with 2200mi and with all that chrome Id say it's worth about $8,500-$9,500
