Just bought 98 fatboy also month ago love the bike. But one thing for sure i found out harley davidson doe´s not check a bike out like they say they do especially an older model. It´s my fault also i should have rode it more before buying it if you know what i mean,the salesman was a good talker and i trusted him bad idea i know. Well i have been working on the bike myself for the last month I will get it done where it looks like i want it just ordered some buffalo t-bars for it can´t wait to get them. Well thanks for letting me in your discussion group OH YEA DON´T BUY FROM CENTRAL TEXAS HARLEY DAVIDSON THEY SUCK.
