Today Tennessee Wyoming Kansas I need to replace my front fender thanks to some idiot in Missouri hitting it while I was in the store. It will be nice to have one again in the rain.

Lots of great current/recent Fatboys.....an amazing evolution of the original (Willie G.) idea. I bought this first year 1990 Fatboy from my brother who owned it for 27 years up until 2021, when I convinced him to sell to me. 98% original and I still have the other 2% ready to go back on. Runs great...has that EVO "potato potato" vibe.

IMHO opinion, this is the best looking, toughest looking, coolest bike ever made. What you have there my friend is a UNICORN! Sweet ride!!
Peak Seaker,
Thanks for the comment....Words I agree with, of course. And we all know the Harley Davidson Fatboy line has endured now trough the awesome looking 30th anniversary bikes in black and gold. I also liked the 15th Anniversary bikes which recreated the all silver monochromatic look (but with fewer color-matched items). I see you have a 2002 Fatboy yourself, so congrats on your ownership. There are still SOME unmodified 1990 Fatbotys out there, but increasingly rare to see them being ridden. I ride this one weekly or at least every 2 weeks (it is my second bike behind my 2008 Crossbones- the 'Bones has 44,000 miles and is my daily driver). I love the old-school feel of this great running Evo AND the complete lack of on-board computers or fuel injection! I found this bike in a barn in South Dakota collecting dust way back in 1994 with 5,500 miles on it. I couldnt afford a second bike back then...but my brother sent me the $12,400 it took to buy it and that brother kept her for 27 years and rode it up to 24,500 miles (about 830 miles per year). I was lucky in 2021 to have him agree to sell it to me for $10,000 plus half of any future profit, however I intend to keep this bike til it goes to one of my sons or into a museum. I have 27,300 miles on it now and I hope to at least double that in my ownership, ha ha. My 2008 XBones gets ridden more....but this '90 Fatboy makes me smile more...much more!
