Default New Guy Alert
Hi

I own a 2004 Fat boy. I bought it wrecked and am going to be doing a complete frame replacement. When I bought this bike I was told the frame was straight and it just needed some cosmetic work and well it didnt work out that way. This will be a learning process for me and hope you all will help!!!!!

Hi from another rebuilt Harley. I bought mine wrecked and did the same thing. I got to know alot about bikes and Harley pieces and parts at the same time. It was fun project and I love it when people comment on how nice my bike is and then you throw the shock factor in - it has been rebuilt!
