Hi there

 

I probably know the answer to this question but I thought I'd pose it here for further feedback.

 

A mate has just scored an 03 Anniversary Fatboy in Silver and Black. the VIN number checks out as an 03 model and definitely comes up as an American import with 1HD as the prefix which is all good. He's just brought it around for me to have a look at.

Here's the thing and excuse my ignorance if the answer is really simple but it's got a Heritage Softail front fender (genuine Anniversary fender with the HD stripe), passing lamps, spoked front and rear wheels (rather than solids) and the indicators are round (as is typical of some of the Touring family) on the front and rear with the rears on a short bar.

So to look it you'd say it's a Fatboy that's been Heritaged??? Would that have been done post purchase??

 

Thoughts anyone.

 

Cheers 

whats to say it isnt an 03 Heritage .... ? the reason i ask,  is to swap out the solid wheels to spoke and put on a heritage front fender seems dumb.

 edit :  I just had a look and apparently the 03 heritage did come in silver and black

Hi there

 

Thanks for the replies folks. The confusing variable is the VIN number which when you check here: http://www.motoverse.com/tools/vinDecoder.asp 

comes up as an FLSTFI Fatboy?? The VIN is stamped on the frame (as are they all, on the sticker and on the purple Aussie sticker as well). The logo on the decal around the ignition switch also says Fatboy.

hence my original question..

 

Cheers

Hmm... Very strange! If what you are saying is true, then it's a fatboy! No way HD would have Fatboy written on the bike if it's not a Fatboy.

Any chance of some pics?

 Hired this 2003 Heritage 100 Anniversary model in Cairns and it had no mention of Fatboy on the dash panel.

Mate you got to get us some pics of this bike.

Hi there

Pics on their way. just waiting for the owner to take a couple

 

Cheers

Man - If that was originally a FatBoy, someone wasted a heap of coin making it look like a Heritage!! LOL!!

Hmmm... I would love to know the story behind this one.

Thats what i was thinking Burnzi. I had a xf falcon years ago that the missus at the time crashed and the insurance replaced the parts with that off a ltd and fairmont ghia, and i paid the difference.
So maybe thats what happened. You know, same but different.

If its an import who's to say its not a wreck rebuilt out of random Harley parts ?,

Ive seen a few so far that have an odd mix, like a super glide custom with base model dyna wheels and tank dash
