Congrats!

 

When it's time for an upgrade/rebuild of the 88B in my 2000 FatBoy I'll be checking out the factory rebuild program. The rebuild is warranted.

 

Good shape is it?

 

I wouldn't if they do a motor exchange. The 00s had good cranks and timken bearings. There are indies that can build a nice motor out of what you got cheaper than the exchange. BTW HD don't to factory rebuilds any more. Not even sure they'll touch that motor.

 

They do a long block exchange and you can upgrade the 88B to either 95CI or 103CI.

Soon, I will know.

Trailer in route to grab the Heritage.

I am leaning towards compensation nut came loose, aka a primary issue.

It fires right up, idles fine.
In fact when I first heard the noise while riding it I went hard from first through 3 & the motor sounded normal.

Obviously say a little prayer it ain't the bottom end.

My pal whom builds motors "thinks" the motor is fine.
Primary issue.

I'll report back


Meanwhile, out on the road

 

Congrats on the new bike,you made a good choice keeping your old bike you would have give it to them.

 

You know Spivitz in days gone by the Fat Boys were just stripped down Heritage bikes from the looks of things. I know they are a lot different now, but I've often wondered if a modern Fat Boy could be outfitted sort of like a Heritage with the bags and windshield. Have you looked into that option?
