Default Finally Scored An EVO Police..Advice?

Hi Guys!

Been after one like this forever, most were very pricey
This one is a 1997, has the changes made that will allow
me to fit most up to 2008? parts
Only 42,000 miles

City of Richmond, VA patrol unit, decommed in 07
Tires are like new all fluids changed newer battery
Everything works, radio box is empty just cosmetic

I gave him 4500 for this...could I have done better for
a clean FLHTPI like this?

Anything else I should know/do/check on this police unit?

This is my 3rd EVO, I've had newer models but not the same

You guys here probably know that
Whaddyathink?

Hey you're the one w/a cop bike?(&a newb to boot)

On the iron cross thing or the Baron Von Richtoven comment.
FYI;
http://www.choppers.com/iron_cross.asp


The iron cross was originally introduced in 1813 by Kaiser Frederic Wilhelm and designed by Karl Friedrich as a campaign medal award- ed for acts of heroism, bravery and leadership. The original iron cross consisted of a blackened iron core in the shape of the cross patt`ee, surrounded by a two-piece silver frame that is soldered together. The center of the cross has a sprig of three oak leaves, while the upper arm has the cipher FW (Frederic Willhelm) surmounted by the Prussian crown, and the lower arm has 1813 for the year of introduction; the reverse of the medal is plain. The iron cross reintroduced in the Franco Prussian War of 1870 - 1871 and in the First World War 1914 - 1918 differed only slightly from the original. The face of the medal was altered by placing the cipher W in the center of the cross, the Prussian cross on the upper arm and the year of the individual war on the bottom arm. The reverse of the medal was the same as the face of the original iron cross.

Adolf Hitler reintroduced the iron cross for the last time on Sept. 1st, 1939. Once again the decoration of the cross was altered. The cipher W was replaced with the Swastika, and the lower arm the year date 1939, the reverse only has the introduction date 1813 on the lower arm.

Well, since it was in the police fleet you know it was serviced like it should have been. I'll bet it's seen red line plenty of times but, that shouldn't hurt it any. It's a great looking bike and for $4,500 you should feel guilty (just kidding). That's a great price. Once in a while you find a great deal and that was one of them. I got screwed on my Heritage, got a great deal on my Electraglide and really got an awesome deal on my wife's Sportster. Sometimes you're the bug and sometimes you're the windshield.

Thanks, Guys...When he priced it I jumped...and quick
Lost more than one good deal thinking too hard...LOL

Falcon; Here's my "other" EVO...98 Heritage Softail
Stole it from a lawyer...the entire back end is all chrome including the swingarm! But the police unit will be a lot smoother on those long rides
