    The Dyna Screamin Eagle FatBob retailed for something crazy like AUD $56,000.00

    mine is an 09 etc but compliance is 05/2010, bought brand new month or two after that,

    have now done around 7,000 klms, and so far have had the following;

    • Complete air assembly fell off at around 600klms and is currently in the bush around wisemans ferry.
    • stock tires are LETHAL in wet, looking forward to changing
    • Rear tire needs replacing, strangely front tire OK,
    • Hydraulic clutch holding up fairly well
    • 110 Engine spits out 236 mils of oil per 1,000klms ridden (SE SYN3 bloody expensive by the Quart)
    • Handlebars loose and have moved down 2 inchs whilst riding
    • Engine stabiliser bolts etc all came loose
    • Front engine mount bolts replaced
    • Fuel tank loosened completely and paint chipped off around bolt to frame
    • 2nd set of pipes, Cycle shack 3" pipes worn through at bottom of both muffler and front bend up to header
    • Chrome "tommy gun" mid secton worn through ties and missing in action - last seen in Devonport motel carpark
    • Both front footpegs worn more through the allen key bolt.
    • Brake pedal broken, holding well with electrical tape.
    • Chrome primary/gearbox case completely worn through.
       

     

    Yeah great bike though, big grin on my face through all those sparks, self inflicted damage is not something you can really whinge about is it - specially' when you had so much fun doing it!

    PS. when I advertise for sale as "mature owner ridden on Sundays to the shop only" don't you bastards say nuffin'!

     My rear tyre is shot at 7,500 ks too. Weird because I'm not as"spirited" a rider as you are. Ok I might be guilty of a lot of gunning at the lights but that's about all.
