This is one of the best riding Harley's I've owned, it practically drives itself. Harley Davidson certainly perfected the easy and comfortable riding ability in these soft-tail model. If you do not end up buying this one, I would look to other FatBoy's as my personal choice. Please note, this is a custom with a combination mainly Harley or Performance parts. That's what makes this one so special. Knowing the history back in the late 90's it was faster to custom make your bike than to wait for an order and delivery of a new Harley Davidson. It was also toward the end of the transition Harley was making with their new line of motors. This one has the 1340cc Evo 82 cu.in.). Most analysts consider the Evolution to be the engine that saved the reorganized Harley-Davidson company from certain bankruptcy. Below is a little more history. Though a major design advance for Harley-Davidson in many ways, the Evolution is most distinct from earlier Harley-Davidson engine designs by virtue of its reliability, oil tightness, and ability to be run hard under all kinds of circumstances for tens of thousands of miles farther than any of its predecessors. Both the heads and cylinders of the Evolution engine are made from aluminum to reduce weight compared to a cast iron design. Air cooling efficiency is improved as aluminum is a superior thermal conductor to cast iron. The use of aluminum for both heads and block reduces wear on the head gasket seals, compared to a combined cast iron and aluminum design which could induce stress on the head gasket seals as a result of different rates of expansion and contraction between dissimilar metals . Per my ownership the bike, has always been garaged kept, and never intentionally driven in the rain. Several things have been recently maintained with the last year to include the following. New battery Rebuilt Carburetor Directional and horn wiring New Brakes Replacement of cables New Mustang Seat Tune-up Also don't forget to check out my video below.
