Hello. I am posting here in the hope to get some insight on purchasing a '92 Fatboy.

The bike is fair shape. It is for sale at an HD Dealership so I feel quasi-confident that it will hold up. The wheels will need to be replaced in some time as will the seat. The bike looks fairly stock but I am a new rider and new to H-D so I don't know much.

What I am really looking for is any opinions on the year and if anyone knows of serious issues with this year. I would buy newer if I could but this bike fits in my price range where I am comfortable. I don't have any issues with a carburated bike. My one concern is the solid motor mounts.

 

A 92?

How many miles?

She's an evo... She's gonna shake, rattle and roll. Some like it, some can't stand it. And for the most part anyone with a Twinkie is going to leave you in the dust.

But my Evo's have a personality that can't be matched

 

How much? Lots of bikes going for less money these days

 

27,644 miles and they are asking $7500. Personally I think $7500 is a little steep for a bike of that age.

 

At that price, for that vintage, you have you choice of MANY nice H-D's. Unless there's something very exceptional about that one, I'd keep looking. Might even find one with wheels you like, and that alone, would save you a bundle.

 

Sounds high to me. If it needs new wheels then there may be quite a few cosmetic problems with it. I love the EVO's and there are many out there in that price range that are newer and in great shape.

 

I guess it is the area I am in but used Fatboys seem either overpriced or rare. There is a '96 I am also looking at with low mileage and appears to be in nice shape but the seller is asking around 10k and the lowest he is willing to go is 9.1k.

 

Keep looking. Best bet would be a 2000 -- 2002 Fat Boy with a carb'd twin cam that has good bearings. Gotta watch for the cam tensioners to blow though...

Fat Boys are great scooters, got one myself.

 

looks like I'm heading to PA, to sell my bike!!!

 

I paid 6 G for my 91 that had a new 98 motor with flowed heads, Crane cam etc. Put on new 80 spoke wheels. (they are cheaper than you think when you have bro that is custom bike dealer), tins etc. Only a little over 7 G in it when I was done. It will run circles around my bros warmed over twin cam. Wouldnt trade my Evo for any slug running, cam tensioner eating twin cam.
