Im looking at buying a 1999 street glide with 70,000 miles / 100,000km
What should I consider needs to be done or replaced on the motor with this amount of km/miles.

Should I walk away or bring her home.?

Any help or comments
Thanks for your time

 

First of all, there's no such thing as a 99 street glide. Someone may have built one, but the model did not come out until 06 I think.

 

Unless you are buying the bike from the original owner and as a "project"; pass. There are too many later models that can be had for a reasonable price. At 70K miles, top end is likely tired, heads need reworking, lots of miles on wheel and steering head bearings, swing arm bushings, motor mounts, drive belt, starter, primary drive chain, clutch, all oil seals, etc.; I could go on. There are some that will tell you 70K is not a lot of miles if the bike has been maintained and I couldn't argue with that. Just saying there are too many later models with 25K to 30K miles that would be better candidates.

 

a 99 streetglide is probally an electraglide standard, is the engine silver? 70k could run fine, but is getting up there, will need an overhaul pretty soon.

 

Thanks guys, I'm sorry it's a 1999 Electra glide turned street glide...

I think the top end was done a few miles back....

I'm thinking I should walk, don't want to spend the time and money dealing with the motor.

Thanks again
