First off....had a 1985 FXEF 80cu Evo(left stock), in 1998 built from the ground up custom with 107 S&S(115hp dynoed) sold it bought a 2004 88cu Springer(97hp dynoed), sold it and now have a 2012 103cu FatBoy. It has a Stage 2 flash, 255 cam and snorkle airclearner. I put SE slip-on mufflers on it after this pic was taken. I've had Thunderheaders on most of my bikes for the power but now its time for some piece and quiet.
I love the feel, looks and ride, but WTF was Harley thinking when they geared this damn thing ?!?!?! Its also the noisiest engine I've ever had !!
