They have a 120th Anniversary Fatboy, its been there a little while, I saw it last week. It"s a beauty, but a little flashy for me. I asked a salesman what the price was, and he started to go check, but I stopped him. I'm not buying, just curious,so didn't want to waste anyones time. I did check on the MoCo's website, and its listed for $21,699. I was surprised, I though it would be much more.
List price is not selling price LOL, or they would have the price on the bike
Doubt they would sell that for less then $25k
They have an Anniv bike every 5 years, kinda kills any idea that it's special to me
I do like the matching red color spread out to timing cover, air cleaner etc

It looks real good overall, I like the two tone seat also. SInce it's been there a while, they must be asking a lot.

I stopped back there yesterday, they had a Dynojet trailer. It was free, so I figured "why not".
My powertrain is toltaly stock, it would be a good base line if I do any upgrades (which I doubt) but never know.
They did four runs, my best were:
Max power 78.83 @ RPM 4.77 Max Torque 107.52 @ RPM 2.94

Sure wish that I could get a base line done cheap. They're asking $300 - $400 around here.

Next weekend is free Dyno again. I'm thinking of changing gas, and seeing if there is a difference. I burn 90 non-ethenal mostly, a change to standard prenium might be interesting.

Last week a guy drove up in a Boss Hoss to be Dynoed, it had a 502 CI V8 in it. They Dyno guy said the wheel base was too long, and wouldn't dyno it. That was dissapointing.

I'm thinking of getting the lower fork sliders in chrome fitted to my 2022 FatBoy (part number 45500402) - the quality of the finish on the standard part leaves a lot to be desired!

Does anyone have a picture of the chrome bits fitted to their bike? I'd be keen to see what it looks like with a full chrome front end before I go for it...


Thanks!

Actually that's on my to do list ^^^^ (lower fork legs plus all the tin wear) for my 2019 FLFBS

If you are ok with the texture section on the inside of the leg,the hd legs are ok

Thanks! I'm pretty much convinced I am on the right track!

Should look a lot nicer than the satin stuff that is on there now, and hopefully be a bit more hard wearing!
