Super nimble. great power to weight ratio.
Have to baby it a bit the first 500 miles or so, but I rode a used on two weeks ago, and it'll get up and move for sure. 5th gear isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be on the highway at 70mph. I'm about 6'1", and about 240 and it hauls my fat as around with no problem.

If you like the looks of them (which is what initially drew me to them), take one for a spin. Mucho Fun.

And....I've gotten tons of looks on it. Not that it's the reason I bought it, but it's cool to see someone appreciate it. A few compliments at gas stations (which is frequent lol). My gas light came on at about 60 miles. I filled up and put about 1.4 gallons in it - so definitely have a decent window to fill up once it comes on.

You need to move to AZ where you can ride that bad girl all year long :D

Yeah, I haven't taken my hog out since I got the new stem. I hope to get it out for a ride on Saturday. I'll let you ****ers know how that goes.

1200.
I think the only 883s are now in the Iron Trim, or the 48 (might be both 883 and 1200).

Thanks dude. Looks so bad ass in the sun.:D

Yeah, Sportsters can get up and go. Weren't they originally built for racing?

Came very close to pulling the trigger on trading in my fatboy. 13 street glide, black pearl paint job. Custom wheels, 22k, 7500 for my 05 fatboy, and 3k for whatever in store upgrades. The stage one upgrade, air intake, quick release sissy bar, etc.

After really being tempted I decided to wait another year or two. My 05 only has 17k miles, it's paid off, runs and looks great.

crazycoffey 10-03-2013 09:24 AM

The wheels

Are the 05 Fatboys fuel injected? What year did Harley start using Fuel Injection?

crazycoffey 10-03-2013 09:26 AM

My fatboy

Yes, in 05 I believe. Only 5 gears though

seaofred 10-03-2013 09:27 AM

I didn't know when HD switched over. Thanks.

Don't know when they switched over but I had an '05 Softail Deluxe that was fuel injected.
