I paid 6 G for my 91 that had a new 98 motor with flowed heads, Crane cam etc. Put on new 80 spoke wheels. (they are cheaper than you think when you have bro that is custom bike dealer), tins etc. Only a little over 7 G in it when I was done. It will run circles around my bros warmed over twin cam. Wouldnt trade my Evo for any slug running, cam tensioner eating twin cam.
I guess it is the area I am in but used Fatboys seem either overpriced or rare. There is a '96 I am also looking at with low mileage and appears to be in nice shape but the seller is asking around 10k and the lowest he is willing to go is 9.1k.
Don't limit yourself to just the immediate area, it's worth the travel for the right bike at the right price. And there are plenty of great deals to be had. Just be ready to act fast when you find one. Even in your immediate area you'll see great deals in time.
I know you are in PA but about 800 miles southwest in Clarksville, TN there is a '95 Heritage (check the pics before you start gagging) that another forum member has been looking at but his wife just killed the deal. If an EVO is what you want and you are willing to make the drive; it's worth looking at. Check the Craig's list photos and then opem Sharpshooters thread for more pics and info on the bike. I think it could be had for $5500, cash and carry. It's got some miles but the top end was rebuild since and that many miles on an EVO that has been well maintained wouldn't keep me from pulling the trigger; I am just not an EVO guy.
