Every now and then you get to see a real work of art on the road, a motorcycle that someone has really put their heart and soul into and made work.
This is one of those bikes.
And yeah, both the front and back raises or lowers based on how you want to ride this beast. If you want to slam it to the ground and ride low, or raise it up and ride at stock height, you can do either.
With over $80,000 in work and parts done to this 2002 Harley Fatboy to make it truly unique, it's going to take someone with deep pockets to bring it home. If you like to stand out, and if you have the cash, this is the ride for you.
Check out the auction.
From the auction itself:
"AIR RIDE FUN" those are the best words to describe this one of a kind and original 2002 Harley-Davidson Fatboy that has been taken beyond the next level in cool custom work .
This Fatboy had been sitting disassembled 5yrs and 478mi were on the bike and finally finished at the end of last year when just 200mi more were added on for test and tune. The bike was taken completely apart and put together by a 20-year in business shop and HD certified mechanic with no expense spared.
Upon disassembly the frame was taken to the sandblaster to remove all the factory powder coating and prep the chassis for the next step the fabricator . The chassis fabrication shop added 3 degrees to the rake , fabricated covers , cleaned up all the factory flaws and completely smoothed out the frame for that super clean look.
The 88 stock motor and trans completely disassembled and taken to the powdercoater to be baked in a bright silver poly and then sent out to Diamond heads in Nevada to be Diamond cut on the jugs and the heads .
Upon return the machine shop got the motor which then bumped up the compression and cubic in to a 95incher with all top notch parts S&S gear drive , S&S cams , S&S lifters , Andrews push rods , Wiesco pistons , chrome moly rings , ETC ETC ETC and finished out in all ARLEN NESS chromed billet covers and assembled using all chrome Allen head bolts.
The trans now sports a JIMS 6 speed overdrive gear set and all ARLEN NESS chromed billet covers and all chromed Allen bolts also. The primary was tossed for a ARLEN NESS 3in chromed billet RAD primary with all chromed Allen bolts. All the lines were run thru the frame bars , 200mm rear tire etc.
I will try to break this bike down the best I can for you and to show you that in retail parts alone without the purchase of the bike and taxes I have 63 thousand plus dollars and anyone who is lucky enough to end up with this bike will be more than happy along with the response from other people which is priceless.
If you're waiting for an engraved invitation, you're not going to get it - go check the bike out yourself here...(Sorry, bike's gone)
