It is a beauty. No BS. Just my point. We can add all kinds of crap to the bike, the same geegaws that a thousand others buy and bolt on, I think it a bit contrived, make it your own? Just like all the rest. You know what makes a bike unique and one of a kind? The guy that rides the bike. Where the bike has been, the trips, the memories. It is not the added chrome or flash paint, not the fancy wheels or the apes or drag bars, what makes a bike your own is that one ride, that moment in time where it is just you and the machine, alone on the road, you don't see the bike. Only where it is is taking you. Really did you make your bike unique by bolting on a catalog piece of chrome that was made in china, the same piece that 10,000 other guys have on their bike? Oh so custom! So original! OK. Now back to the point, do you have an original piece of HD art, without crayon scribbles?

 

100% Show Room Stock 2005 15th Anniversary Fat Boy:





I may have changed a few things since I took these pictures last year.

 

Nope.

 

I think history will show that the ONLY 100% bone stock Fat Boys that will ever be worth more than what the same bike in modified form is worth, will be the original 1990 Grey Ghost (the original Fat Boy), and the 1993 Moo Glide Nostalgia. Other than those two exceptions, they are all just Fat Boys. At least IMHO.

 

Yep love it, right down to the reflectors. Are you gonna keep it stock? It is already more valuable than a molested 2005.

 

^^^^^^look at his sig it's far from stock. The only mods to mine are remove the reflectors and V&H short shots staggered. But you right about looks that is why you buy the model in the first place. To each his own it's yours do with it as you please.

 

Same. Maybe just a few minor cosmetic, personal touches since I took delivery of her back in '08...





Actually wasn't even BONE stock when I bought it. Already had the sissy bar and engine guard when she was on the showroom...

 

A couple of weeks ago I bought a used 2010 Fatboy with 12,000 miles and as far as I can tell it is bone stock with some factory options. Bone stock for now. I have already ordered a PCV, a K&N air intake system, and V&H slip-on pipes....

 

Nope, not so much. I still have all the stock parts. Even the stock powder coated oil tank and seat. All the rest is just bolt on stuff that could be removed and replaced back to stock. The only parts I deliberately threw away was the stock exhaust. Other than that, I could turn it back to 100% original should the need arise.

 

2010 just back from an afternoon ride...
