Anyone know of any others? Can't find much info. I'm of the understanding of the 200 paint schemes, all are individual. Found a couple of others through Google searches. That's it. Surprises me I can't find a record of all 200.  Rocket in England | ||

I remember those! The one or few I've seen here in Mur-vil TN were pretty dang sharp! Dunno about the 200 individual paint schemes, but it sounds about right. Slick!! | ||

Thanks for the reply. Can't believe how little traffic there is here and non about bikes since I posted two days ago. So here's another I found just to stay on topic lol.  Rocket in England | ||

Found another red one nearly identical. Apologies for the gaudy custom jobs lol.  Rocket in England | ||

IIRC you couldn't really appreciate the paint until you got up close. Of all the paint schemes I've seen, that one's definitely towards top of the list cool. Don't remember blue, though... Still want to do a "mutt" Buell XB12SS something or other with Uly parts, and Cherry Bomb plastics. Yep. | ||

... digging the 2nd red bike a lot more than the first one. Ditch the fatboy wheels for sure... oil can looks more proper, et cetera. Yeah... the more I think about it, that's one of the best paints the MoCo ever did. If nothing else, you'd want a H-D product for the eye candy, riight? Chrome won't gitcha home, but it will getcha laid.  | ||

Numbered paint sets from the MoCo all had a number painted on the tank, I want to say bottom rear corner somewhere, just in front of the seat. It'll have a B&S logo, and "XXX/200" underneath. | ||

Joe's right! I'd forgotten that. Funny what we get excited about around here, no?  | ||

And they were not "factory" - they were P&A, sold as an accessory. You didn't order "a bike" with them on it, you PUT them on an existing bike. Might be why there's no documentation on 'em - they were just a part. | ||

Also correct. Good on ya Joe! Hope you are well out there in the weird weather. Damn it would be good to ride with you again... I think often about our ride to HC back in 2010! Also, I can't remove my imagined image of you and your bike exploding a deer... yeesh. DON'T do that again, buddy! | ||

Thanks guys. Yes that's as I understand it too. 200 in number. Mine is numbered. Parts kit purchase not actually a model in itself though I am told the 'kits' pretty much sold out straightaway and mostly to those who'd just bought a new Fatboy 2004/5. Wasn't uncommon for customer of new purchased bike to throw even more Willie G Skull accessories at them too, so they'd be lavished with engine covers, foot boards, gas caps, twist grips, you name it, with Willie G stuff. This one hasn't been but it did have the Screaming Eagle mufflers I swapped for the Longshots. It's the SE mufflers which suggest it might be a higher capacity engine It's a Twin Cam 88cu but told it's out to 95cu it being 2004 and around the time HD were fitting larger capacity engine. Not sure I believe this. I'd more expect it had a conversion if anything. Rocket in England | ||

95's were pretty common. You are lucky to have those paints! I'd love to look at that eye candy again. Very pretty. I remember always walking by that bike in the showroom, looking and wondering WHY a Fatboy. Wish it had been a Dyna Convertible or something. | ||

My 2002 FLTR was punched to 95 along with gear drive cams. Just torque cams, not radical at all. I rode like that for a long time. I recently dropped one tooth on the crank sprocket and was really happy with the results. I rode Mark's bike at the WVBR last August where he had dropped two teeth on an 88 engine. Man that thing was peppy! Made me remember my old 91 where I had done something similar. If you need a little more squirt out of the corners I'd recommend a sprocket change over engine mods. Much cheaper! | ||

I spent £30000 on the Buell over the years. I've no intention of spending like that again lol. The Fatlad is ok as it is pretty much. Rocket in England |
