FAT is where it's AT. It's the only Harley-Davidson I liked (at the time) and I have not been disappointed. After two + years, if I could do it all over again, I would buy the exact same bike. You can leave it stock, take it old school, or make it a slammed hot rod. You can ride it to work or cross-country; solo or two-up. Awesome piece of work!

well the fatboy sounds like a viable option. I will check it out and see what it feels like.
They also have a 2004 Heritage that I will look at as well but I think they have too much of that classic look fo rmy taste, but they are nice

My 03 has 87,300+ miles on it. Has been very reliable with routine maintenance. I also have the 95" upgrade, stage 1 air and viper pipes. I really can't complain about a thing except I wish tires would last a little longer. In the summer it is my daily driver and is one of the things that makes work that much more enjoyable. Handles fine and I have to deal with Long Island NY drivers who seem to aim right at you. That is a great price to boot. Good luck. Chris

theres going to be a bit of a kick back on this , but to be honest after riding a couple of Dyna,s (i bought a Fat Bob) and a couple of soft tails including the new slim , i would buy a Dyna every day of the week ,
there faster than those old chuggers , corner better and in my case have very good brakes , and you can pick up a new one for just $2k more than that ol fat boy as well , then make it your own over time .....sorry Fat Boy,s .... but you know its the truth even if you wont admit it

11000 seems high, but it's time of year. I would think closer to 9-9.5K for a carbed 04. I am not good with carbs, efi is so much easier, but cost more to manipulate. But, if I was good with carbs, then I would have a different opinion.
As far as why do you see a lot of Fattys for-sale, they are popular, thus a lot of them on the market.
A dyna vs softail debate is not a really a debate, apples and oranges.

My 2005 is pretty much stock, has EFI, but I believe it is pretty similar to the '04 as far as wheel and tire size, tranny, engine displacement, etc. I wouldn't trade it for anything; I did add a Mustang seat this year for passenger comfort (not in photos yet).
