FXEF Fat Bob

Sold

An original-paint Fat Bob with just 10k miles — matching numbers, clean title, and a running, riding 80-inch Shovelhead. The kind of honest, unmessed-with bike that's getting hard to find. Sold.

The FXEF Fat Bob — the name comes from its fat, bobbed twin fuel tanks, pure Willie G. Davidson factory-custom styling. Introduced for 1979, it paired the 80 cubic inch (1340cc) Shovelhead with electric start (the 'E') and a four-speed transmission. A 1980 example lands in the final AMF years, before Harley-Davidson's 1981 management buyback. This one is honest and original: original paint, just 10,000 miles, matching engine and frame numbers, and a clean title. Running and riding.

Buying from Stateside Speed Shop

How we sort, photograph, and describe what we sell

Everything on this site has been through our shop in Austin, Texas. We photograph in daylight, describe what's right and what's wrong, and answer condition questions before you buy — not after. If a part is cracked, dented, helicoiled, or freshened up with bondo by a previous owner, the listing says so. If we don't know something, we say "we don't know" rather than guess.

  • Photos are of the actual item, never stock images.
  • VIN / serial numbers listed when present; we run NICB reports on titled engines on request.
  • Condition language is calibrated against the photos, not the opposite.
  • WhatsApp video walkarounds before you commit — just ask.

Buying a Shovelhead

What to check before you ride away

Shovelhead Big Twins are forgiving bikes but they earn their keep through small details. Top of the list: matching engine and frame numbers (we list them when present), cam case for hairline cracks behind the lifter blocks, signs of oil sweat at the lifter bores, and the condition of the rocker boxes. Twelve-volt later '70s bikes get hot in Texas summer — we note any signs of charging-system rebuilds. Most Shovels we sell have a known history; we hand over what we have.
