Anyone else got a Twin Cam Fat Bob?

[Martz]

This is the bike I traded my MT-01 in for. It was a bit of a disaster when I got it, lots of niggles. , bad paint, dodgy electrics, questionable styling. Finally after a winter refresh and a shit ton of money thrown at it, it's now ready for the road.... I think. I will be getting her out the shed later to see if a) it runs and b) it runs right. Before and after below.

Here’s mine on a freezing day at Ribblehead, I’ve had it 11 years and it’s been faultless.

Nice looks a different bike now.

A better pic.

Managed to get her out for a 20 mile run. Happy as a happy man can be. Here she is ticking over like a sewing machine.

Why did you have to rebuild it? What year/mileage?

Engine wise it was fine, although the compensator is showing signs of wear. Otherwise it was purely a cosmetic exercise, originally burnt orange, now badly applied black gloss, rear mudguard was a butchered piece of rusty tin, most chrome parts had been painted with black Hammerite. Seat base split, lots of corrosion on fasteners and front light/yokes. It's a long list.. The selling price dictated that it had to be bought and saved. 2011 US import (Ain't they all? ) 23K.

I had one. Didn’t like it. That’s not very helpful is it?

Get that compensator (and possibly other primary parts) sorted.. as soon as…

I have the last of the Dyna Fat Bob a 2017. It’s been faultless but I’ve only covered 7k miles. I’ve upgraded the suspension front and rear, Vance and Hines FP3 tuner, plus all the stage 1 goodies and extras you would expect.
This Harley just fitted me lovely, I sat in the bike and everything felt just right for me.
I do like it, but just not riding it enough despite owning for few years. Gonna sell and have a change.

I have a set of new Andrews 57H cams, SE adjustable pushrod kit, Carrillo 107" piston kit and HD auto decompressor kit to be offloaded.
Should have gone on my Twin Cam before is was wrecked.
