Default Help with a decision on a new to me bike

I am looking at a 2008 Deluxe with 20k miles on it. It has the HD engine guard, HD windshield and HD bags and Reinehart exhaust on it. And they are all the same ones I would be adding anyhow. Its ready to roll just the way I would do it.

Or a 2009 Deluxe with only 8k on it and no add ons. I would have to get windshield, bags and pipes. This one they are asking $750 more.

They are both the same color, which happens to be the color I am looking for.

What do you guys think??

Ride them both, look at your money situation and decide for yourself.

It's not only $750 more if you are going to plunk down $$ to add the stuff the other already has. As long as they can show that the 08 already has the scheduled maintenance done, I'd probably go for that one. If they can't show it then I think that might be the deciding factor, for me anyway.

Just my .02 cents.
