Default 93 Fat Boy

How were the early models of the Fat Boy? Would you by a 20 year old bike especially if you are not into wrenching?

It`s a 23 year old motorcycle, it could need damn near every part replaced or be in mint condition, you haven`t given us a clue as to its condition or mileage.

I've only seen pictures of it, but looks nice. Mileage is 20,000. Should be able to look at it sometime this week.

That is a great bike to own, however, for $6,000 it had better be very nice and need nothing !!

As for repairs, if not doing the work yourself, you will need to find a good indy. Many HD dealers refuse to put a wrench on a 20 year old bike.
