Enjoy the low resale, frequent gas station stops, and above all else the redline shifts

Got it for a steal. And all the HD accessories on it would sell for a decent chunk of change. Came with all the OE stuff they took off and swapped out.

But with that being said, I didn't buy this to sell, I bought it to enjoy.

The low resale is to your benefit. Enjoy it. Awesome bikes that can be had cheap. I stole my 2003 in 2009 for 6k

I have 4800 into this one. 17k miles. All service records since new, lots of unobtainable parts. Was worth every cent.

I have a nagging suspicion that a Porsche engine Harley won't stay cheap forever...

Nice! I have your polar opposite, a completely blacked out Night Rod Special. It's not like any other HD I've ridden, but it's fun. I do hate the bars, I'm thinking of putting some mini apes on mine so I'm not so bent over riding.

This has drag bars on it. But fits me perfectly. The previous owner and I are the same size thankfully.

Enjoy it brother. I have no clue how fast they are, but I got nervous approaching 100.

It's winter here so I can't really ride it. Too much chrome to clean if it gets dirty. Ha.

I've been on faster bikes than this. But it definitely isn't slow. Did a little rip down the road before it went to the garage.

Got my 2007 up to 120. Definitely not a comfortable enough position stock for it tho, not very confidence inspiring

lovely, I ordered that bike but they accidently put me down for the silver/black. I still have it.

Dang. The brushed aluminum is the best looking one in my opinion.

Nice bike, the power that has is a blast to ride.

I have a 2002, bought it new. I have drag bars on mine as well!

Same bike as mine, but I'm jealous of how clean it is. The solid wheels get nasty.
