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.

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.

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?
