Looking for a 2005/6 CVO Screamin' Eagle Fatboy 103"

Having had no luck with a CVO Deuce, the next bike on the wishlist is a 2005 or 2006 CVO Screamin' Eagle 103" Fatboy.
Now that is a model sold new in Australia, the FLSTFSEi. The first 103 Softail to the public. A "stroked" 88.
The engine gets a good rep around the various HD forums, but only a 2 model year bike. Strong rods and crank setup.
This was one of the main Harley models brought as "used" 1HD imports from the US, so there's a few about.
I have even inspected one in Perth WA just today, but it may be cosmetically too far gone for me.
Bikesales has a few, and I am wondering if anyone knows of any for sale ?
I did see one parked in the street in Port Douglas with a "for sale" sign on it maybe 4 years ago so I am looking for that kind of thing

The CVO Fatboy I looked at today was 25 K's North of me, a perfect distance to buy a bike from haha..
Several spots of rust under the clearcoat on both front and rear fenders. The tank is OK, I looked real close.
The rear has had had a previous attempt to "fix" it and they made a real "Rex Hunt" of it and worsened the corrosion.
Including putting a Fender dress chrome strip on the fender lip. From a Heritage or Roadking I suspect.
The bike had dings and frame scrapes (blue/purple frame paint on this model), basically unloved thru it's life.
Chrome bubbling/lifting on the front wheel and WAY more wheel weights on the rear than should be necessary.
Dinged rim/buckled I reckon ?
The current seller has only had it 2 years and it was cosmetically so when he got it.
I know as a good mate looked at it 2 years ago when it was last for sale locally and passed on it at the time because of the cumulative cosmetic flaws. From 6 feet it looks a million dollars.
I parked my 63,000 K's 2008 CVO Springer next to it and the seller remarked how clean it was.
This Fatboy with 23,000 K's was not a patch on my Springer.
Some CVO models are prone to this underclear spidering , right up to 2014 on the CVO Breakout models.
I am reckoning the K's are maybe not right on that bike, I have heard of jiggery-pokery on the recorded K's on some imports.
Some wise guy in the US will have figured a way to "adjust" the miles/K's as stored in the ECM.
Where there's a will there's a way and that's just human nature.

Now this bike "may" be for sale 400 K's south of me, so 800 K's return journey to collect it.
PLUS it's a whole different price point. $10K more ask !
Exact same model and year and colour but truly mint and like new, babied to fuck for 17 years.
Again a 1HD import.
